That's identical to what they call the C++ approach, except it's just not part of the actual language. I don't think that's an attractive solution.

  Yeah, I think you're right. Didn't quite a few early C++ compilers just generate intermediate C code that was then compiled down?

    I'm not sure about quite a few, but the first one did - Cfront, implemented by Stroustrup.
