C++ is more than that; it's a set of additional features that create something of a C-flavored multiparadigm language. Which inevitably does turn it into a kitchen sink language, since it's trying to be all things to all people. This idea doesn't seem to be in that spirit to me. It's not trying to do something radical like, say, adding OOP semantics to C. It's suggesting that C, a structured programming language, get a feature designed to improve the ergonomics for people doing structured programming in C.
