A concern about that.  From Mark Mitchell's message:

"The default configuration for GCC should not include Objective-C++; a user who 
wants Objective-C++ should explicitly use --enable-languages."

Won't this produce a lot of "I tried to build SomeApp.app and it didn't work at 
all" on GNUstep mailing lists when somebody builds his own compiler or a 
clueless distro doesn't include it?  Shouldn't ObjC++ be pushed for as a 
default build option?
