To me it would appear that in this case by far the lion's share of the
work is digging through reference books (incidentally, I don't have any
of those), devising a good plan for the desired behavior, checking with
the current behavior, figuring out where the differences are,
cross-checking with other line spanners, abstracting useful
commonalities and differences and only ultimately touching the code.
C++ or not, that seems likely to be the smallest part of the problem.
