Hmm, that's tempting... by "merge the C and C++ front-ends", hopefully you mean "tweak the C++ front-end to also accept C"? Most of that work should be fairly trivial, me thinks; the tricky part will be in handling areas where C++ and C99 differ.

I hope the same goal that's applied to the ObjC++ merge - not slowing down C++ - would apply to any C and C++ merge, i.e. not slowing down C. It's slow enough already.

Yes, definitely.

I expect any such merge to be far from trivial.

Indeed.
