Uggh, so it is complaining about namespace issues.  There may be a more
elegant way to keep the warning on C++ (because you absolutely should
not use std::gets() there, any more than gets() in C); but Bruno is the
one that wrote all the magic for dealing with C++ namespaces, and I
don't know how to tackle it.

So I'm applying your patch, with a slight reduction in #if by
consolidating lines.
