Hey. Didn't I just answer this in my first reply to Jakub?
;)
This is a requirement of the C++ standard, see Annex D, "C" compatibility
headers.
Yes, I think it's stupid. Yes, it will make builds difficult.
No, it's currently not implemented in the trunk sources.
That being said, if cpp could be architected to deal with this
eventuality, it would be helpful.
