Re: [RFC] Convert builin-mailinfo.c to use The Better String Library.

"Dmitry Kakurin" [off-list ref] writes:

I'll give you reasons why to use C++ for Git (not why C++ is better
for any project in general, as that again would be pointless):

1. Good String class will make code much more readable (and
significantly shorter)
2. Good Buffer class - same reason
3. Smart pointers and smart handles to manage memory and
file/socket/lock handles.

But all of those are incompatible with another and require major
headaches and/or interface code to get to run with one another.  And
then might use different interface styles, anyway.
