In principle I'd be in favor, to the extent it's a purely ObjC issue.
However, to the extent that it requires changes to the other front-ends
(specifically C++) then there might be some reason for concern.

So I'd say it's is up to the C++ maintainers to approve any patches
that are not in ObjC-specific code,  If those changes are reasonable,
then I'd be in favor.
