I agree -- that's the conclusion I'm leaning towards. That's where
the problems are most severe, where the language provides other
alternatives, and where the user community is least invested in these
language features. We do need buy-in from the glibc people, and
probably the Linux kernel people, if we're going to do that, since
those headers wind up in lots of C++ programs.
This isn't really my call (which is a good thing). I'm just finding
out how many people agree. Even before touching C++, I'd want Jason
Merrill's agreement. Before doing anything to C, we'd certainly need
the SC to sign off -- and I don't plan on raising the issue, at least
in C, based on these discussions.
