Even apart from this project and this discussion, this would be awesome to
have, and I would be deeply grateful if you or someone else would
implement this.  Various people have requested over the years that some of
the packages I maintain compile cleanly with a C++ compiler, and while I
can test such compiles with special effort, being able to integrate the
warnings about it into my normal make warnings build would be incredibly
useful.
