C++ is not supported because this proposal came from WG14 (which is not
the C++ working group, WG21).  There is no such proposal from the C++
folks.

I don't know that implementing this right away in the C++ front-end is
such a great idea.  There will be plenty of proposals that come out of
the C working group that are perhaps not fully considered in the context
of C++.  There is so much potential for unanticipated interactions in C
++ that I think we should be very cautious about implementing C
extensions there just for completeness.

Cheers, Ben
