Ellipsis is not safe. Neither in C, nor in C++. It's wide spread in C 
because there is no alternative, not because it's superior.

C users can create wrappers around the library, if there is interest in 
it. I mostly program in C++ and thus have little interest in providing 
such a wrapper.

I disagree. And you haven't specified the concrete parts of the library 
that look scary.
