Another problem might have been that some C-macros need not to be  
defined under C++ and vice versa, so different C/C++ compilers may  
make different choices. So it then becomes complicated so make code  
that runs correctly for a set of C and C++ compilers.

Yet another problem at the time might have been that some C++  
compilers would (incorrectly) through in a "using std" in the C  
compatibility headers, causing some unwanted name clashes.
