I don't think this is quite the message I want to convey to the
ecosystem. While I'm with you that c++ extensions are the least
desirable option *iff* you're free to chose your language,
gratuitously cutting it off (or giving that impression) creates more
pain than it solves IMO. As much as LibO core is nailed to c++
eternally, so are other people's backends.
