Ack...blasphemy!! I hope it never gets ported to C++.

C compilers usually support more options that do C++
compilers. Not that that C++ cant, the compiler technology just
isnt quite there yet.

C code also creates smaller and faster bins and should (imho)
be the preferred choice anywhere performace and bin size are
needed (ie. OS's, embedded code, etc.). Leave C++ and bloatware
to Microsoft!!!

Cheers!
