Plenty of packages have used it for 10 years or longer: GCC installs or
installed files in $prefix/include/g++, and a library called libstdc++.
binutils has a program called 'c++filt'. gettext is using a ansi-c++.m4 and
source file names starting with 'c++'. Etc. Just do a "locate +"...

I think it may have resulted in portability problems to VMS. But that's a
decade in the past.
