And Qt does that, so long as you're using the Qt API. But you specifically 
included a "platform header" with "Cocoa" in the name. The module in question 
by its very name means it's not insulating you from the underlying API. If 
you'd included the GLX header, you'd have to deal with its very C-ish way of 
doing things.

They also mean you must be reading the documentation of the API in question. 
And if you're reading Cocoa documentation, you'll probably have seen all those 
extra brackets that make no sense in C or C++.

Why did you include this header?
