AFAIK no. one more vote for embedded c++ -- there are a number of nice
features of c++ that don't cost anything on the target side and only let
the compiler do more work (and the programmer less work :)

the problem is to come up with a definition that really doesn't put an
extra load on the target. AFAIK they haven't yet finished the discussion
around embedded c++, and probably it won't be practical for the pics
anyway. gotta stay with c.
