I am going to look properly at a pure C++ approach after we release 3.1
(shortly hopefully, it is all  waiting on me ;-). Though I am still
unsure what this would give anyone over having some C++ facades for the
C runtime. Though, in theory, it should be no slower and not using
pointers to functions might make the optimizer more effective. For this
reason I am also contemplating one (or more) C-lite runtimes, as many
people don't need to override anything but the error message handling.
