maybe more work for the start but a lot of benefit. Other projects could
use a well developed CPU core with much less hazzle.

But as I for myself won't be able to invest the time, I can hardly force
anyone to do the hard job.

But as a fact: it woudl have benefits - and imho the libs should have no
need for C++. There is nothing missing in C, or the other way around:
what would be the true benefit of using C++?
