I would oppose Obj-C++ patches that are in the form of changes to
the C++ front end analogous to what is presently done in C. I
would support patches to combine the C and C++ front ends, and
then get Obj-C++ as something closer to a side-effect.
In general, I would oppose anything that makes it notably harder to
merge the C and C++ front end, or that duplicates additional code
across those front ends.
Note, of course, that this is not my decision; ultimately, that
responsibility rests with the SC.
FWIW,
