I believe the intent was to make the existing code be compilable with
a C++ compiler without introducing any C++ code per se.
My POV on this is that we should make Emacs buildable with as many
modern GUI toolkits as practically possible/reasonable, because it is
not clear which one(s) of them will remain workable and maintained in
the long run. And since many/most of the toolkits and packages we'd
like to use or be compatible with are written in C++ (HarfBuzz is a
good recent example), we should try making our sources be more
friendly to C++ compilers, as much as possible, because not every such
package has a C glue, like HarfBuzz does.
Therefore, if integration with Qt is reasonably possible, we should
not reject it outright. I understand the concerns regarding the
license, but we will need to revisit that when GPL's version is
advanced, and not sooner. Disabling support for a package that no
longer satisfies our requirements is relatively easy.
