Your comment makes little sense in context.  Nobody could claim that
the existing gengtype code is simple.  Not many people understand how
it works at all.  In order to support STL containers holding GC
objects, it will need to be modified.  The fact that modifying it is
nontrivial is not an argument either for or against C++.

I don't know what you mean by your reference to the Cyclone variant of
C, unless you are trying to say something about gcc's use of garbage
collection.
