Say you want to write your routines in C++, but for
compatibility with old-world programmers your routines
need to be callable from C.  Is there a clean way to do this?
IE a way that is not dependant on the latest and
greatest set of gyrations to encode C++ calling
conventions into C-compatible names?  Can you
do a extern "C" like construct that goes the other
way?
