<richi> hm?
<richi> looks like we need support for remote memory in the middle-end
Sounds more like we should rewrite the ME in fortran perusing MPI ;)
But serious. Folks will soon come and complain about our "try" which was
fine in C but will very likely upset c++.

Also "this" which is used in almost every function that touches linked lists.

Even if the middle-end is compiled in C++, the Fortran FE can still be compiled with a C compiler, so we can remain inert. Unless someone wants to C++ify our data structures, of course.
