Hehe, I wasn't sure if it was really a fake, but I doubt someone would spend that much time to create a new language just as a joke. Even more ridiculous, write a book that's thicker than bible about it.
Yes, I know. My point was that Microsoft hides the code to any and all internal C/C++ ANSI and other standards in DLLs and LIBs. This means I would need to understand x86 assembly (which I don't) to see how these are implemented internally. Compilers used to provide the code along with the libraries.
STL is completely templated, which means every compiler delivers full source code - it's all headers. Including Microsoft's.
There is much more to the code than just the templated bits. Microsoft ships the entirety of the code with Visual Studio, which means you can debug into both the C and C++ runtimes.

It was obviously a joke, but it could have been a real interview where Bjarne was just having some fun. Stranger things have happened.

There are languages created as a joke, such as HQ9+ (See the joke language list on the esoteric programming language wiki). Unless you meant as much time as they put into making the C++ standard.
