In general, we've tried to avoid making code in the C++ front-end
impossible to compile with other compilers. We haven't tried too hard
to make sure in can be compiled with other compilers -- but we've
tried not to do obviously unfriendly things. The reason is that code
tends to migrate from one place in the compiler to another. And
errfns.c is code that is likely to end up more widely shared than it
presently is.
Does that make sense?
