I would definitely like to see an R=46C for this if it was to be consider=
ed. To me, adding a whole new way of doing things internally without comp=
letely removing the old way is just asking for a more brittle, potentiall=
y less secure, and harder to maintain codebase. The win of making it easi=
er / =22nicer=22 on a subset of developers who might prefer a C++ interfa=
ce isn't anywhere near worth the risk IMO.
