And the Kernel devs would probably get really annoyed if you try to push this kind of name-spacing.

> C++ would probably be very easy

Not necessary, besides some small? problems due to the C++ allowing "more magic optimizations" then C they would switch to a sub-set of C++, and it might be so you would need to communicate to all contributors that a lot of C++ things are not allowed. And it might be easier to simple not use C++. I mean if it would be that easy the kernel likely would have switched.

Yes, it's scary.

But it's also not used <to have namespacing> but to <improve on cross-field memory operation>.
