It's a pity, though, that you do not suggest something even more useful,
such as C++14.

I have tried compiling Git with a C++ compiler, so that I could test
whether that was a viable alternative for MSVC in case its C++ mode
supported features its C mode did not.  Let's just say that the
compilation aborted very quickly and I gave up after a few minutes.

... because we use reserved C++ keywords such as 'new' as variable names?
