I'm not sure in this case. I think that C++ would reduce the need for
it, but you need the feature *now*, and GCC codebase is not C++ yet. I
agree with other suggestions that the safest option for you is to make
it MELT-specific. Or, you could use C++ in MELT.
In any case I cannot offer much of opinion, should you work on this or
not. Sorry.
