Seems I've been coding Java for the last year and a half under the misapprehension protected means what it does in C++. Now I've discovered it doesn't (aside: so that's why that paragraph in that book about package protected made no sense!), I find myself rather narked that there's no such thing in Java as C++-style protected.

There, that can go and join my being narked that there's no such thing as a const function in Java, and keep it company.
