I think I fully share Mark's concerns here.
It looks to me that you want to modify the C++ front-end to work
ObjC++ without letting C++ maintainers to have any say.  I definitely do
not agree with that.  For example, you made a change to the scope
handling stuff -- that you described as obvious -- and when suggested
a diffferent way and asked you to elaborate, you declined the
suggestion arguing that once the change is in place, one'd look for
alternatives.  I definitely disagree with that line.
