 ## Goals
 My goal for this cheatsheet is to prefer conciseness over absolute completeness. Examples of features should be minimal: if an example is overly complicated, large, or is more of an obscure usage of the feature then it will most likely be rejected in review. The reason for this goal is to teach users what the most popular uses of these features will be, and for a more thorough investigation, to learn about those from external C++ resources.
