Those two are not the same.
It requires far more expertise and experience to be able to strong-arm C++ into generating lean C-like code than just writing C and getting what you want right out of the box.

Even if that were true, and I protest that it isn't (I feel it's easier to generate good code in C++ than C), adding individual C++ features to C will just erode that ability to reason.
