Nah, I'm not asking for anything new. I was just trying to understand
what you were telling me.
Another problem might have been that some C-macros need not to be
defined under C++ and vice versa, so different C/C++ compilers may
make different choices. So it then becomes complicated so make code
that runs correctly for a set of C and C++ compilers.
Yet another problem at the time might have been that some C++
compilers would (incorrectly) through in a "using std" in the C
compatibility headers, causing some unwanted name clashes.
