I have said neither of this.  What I said is that basing system
libraries (which in this case means the libc) on a C++ library is a
stupid idea (note the difference: idea != Dietmar).  And you will
hopefully not try to say that using a C++ base implementation will not
inflict additional costs on any other programming environment which is
not sharing the C++ runtime model.  Given that this approach cannot
honestly being taken into account.

Heck, I'm getting already complains about the cost of the locale
features which are required by the C standard.  Imagine what happens
if you will increase this?
