IIRC from upthread the main reason to keep one of these languages is
-fnon-call-exceptions testing.
How about just writing some tests for that, in C++? It may not be quite
as good but it seems like it could be a reasonable first pass; with more
obscure issues caught by subsequent testing, much as is the case for
non-core targets.
