The door has always been open, as it has always been possible. For instance, the qtdom extension has some C++ components, as does the dotnet extension. This just sort of facilitates the, uh, moving through said door.
If you're using ANSI/ISO-compliant (or mostly compliant) C and C++ compilers, like the gcc suite or MSVC++, there shouldn't be any problems. (Famous last words, I know.) I get at least two emails a week about this sort of thing, so clearly there is interest. It seems that everyone who emails me is looking to do it on either a personal basis or for some proprietary extension, so it's not like PHP itself would suddenly become "polluted" with C++.
