And believe me, PhilC, it is difficult to keep them from "intersecting" in real life as well! :0) When going into seiza (kneeling position), one must swipe the inside of each hakama leg back and out to avoid all sorts of entanglement.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
