While no final vote was taken, it seemed that the consensus the last time
this was discussed seemed to be that it would be better to wait until the
parser rewrite to integrate Objective C++, since we plan to throw away the
current C++ parser in favor of Mark Mitchell's rewrite, meaning that if we
integrate before that work is complete then we have to do duplicate work.
