Is that a veiled suggestion to compile Python as C++ ? ;) I actually tried
to do that, and it almost worked. Some of the current code uses a few C++
reserved words ('new', 'class') that need to be renamed, and a couple of
expressions need some additional parentheses. (The Py_INCREF/DECREF macros,
for instance, produced some incomprehensible g++ error.)
(I tried compiling with g++ to find any lingering K&R C prototypes. And it
worked, it found a few for me I hadn't realized were wrong.)
