For instance, some of these people have come to the C++ FE maintainers

so they need to compile gcc/cp with g++, not gcc. This seems simple
enough.

I believe Gaby offered to do this cleanup. What's the status on this,
anyway?

IIRC Gaby sent a patch to avoid using C++ keywords, which I supported and
Mark didn't.  I don't think it was ever checked in.

I think I was probably overly adamant.

Certainly, in concept, I'd love it if everything in GCC could be compiled as C++.
