I find intriguing why would anyone create an enlightenment module in
c++. What are the advantages?

I think that if someone steps up to maintain the C++ compatibility and
send useful modules to the project, it would be welcome. I don't think
doing only the first one makes much sense.

Anyway, not my call to decide.
