you can always:
extern "C" {
#include "e.h"
}
in your c++ module.
beware. you MUST also ensure your module symbols for init/shutdown etc. are not
mangled.

like above. you can split your module into the c++ and c sections, having the c
sections wrap/access e and expose to the c++ section. :) the c++ section never
sees e includes. :)

as above. you can split. create a c interface shim to e that doesnt expose
these things and exposes a c++ friendly interface... and you need to do this
split anyway to ensure the module init/shutdown etc. apis are not mangled...
so... why would you want a c++ module? (like ALL of it entirely in c++?)
