[Python-Dev] C++ for CPython 3? (Re: str.count is slow)

[Anthony Baxter]

It's probably worth mentioning that right now, we don't even come 
close to compiling with a C++ compiler. A bunch of the bugs are 
shallow (casting result from malloc, that sort of thing) but a bunch 
more look a tad uglier. Is this something worth trying to fix? Fixing 
the shallow bugs at least might be worthwhile...
