I'm not sure what you're basing this on, since AT&T C++ 2.0 uses
standard C header files inside C++ wrappers that discard the useless C
function definitions.  If you have seen this solution and object to the
aesthetics, so be it.  Given that the wrapper would be necessary anyway
to supply declarations with full type checking, I find it hard to
quibble about the details.
