My feeling on this is that it's not fair to expect people to know C++, 
until and unless we switch to actually using C++.  I'd say just code how 
you always have, within our existing coding standards, and ignore the 
issue; let people who care fix it up after the fact, or comment on your 
patches when you post them.
