C++: "look at what others must do to mimic a fraction of my power"

This is cute, but also I'm baffled as to why you would want to use macros to emulate c++. Nothing is stopping you from writing c-like c++ if that's what you like style wise.

Perhaps but a project using this stops you from writing any old C++ in your C. Writing C++ in a C style has no such protection.

It's choosing which features are allowed in.
