   Doesn't the C++ implementation already provide such a support layer   
   for the standard language facilities, such as memory allocation or   
   exceptions (or threads, from C++11 on)?   
      
   When you rule out even such a fundamental concept as RAII and parts of   
   STL that made it into the standard library, I can imagine the   
   resulting language would be quite different from what many people   
   think what C++ is.
