I dont that the embedded C++ should be a concern. It is just a too
small subset of C++, that I think would avoid better solutions for
"backward"(since I think EC++ is a step back) compatibility. I even
agree with Bjarne Stroustrup FAQ about EC++:

I hadnt time to see Shmem yet, but I'm trying to find some time to
take a look at it. It really seems interesting and is certainly very
useful.
