There's a reason general-use libraries end up gravitating towards shitty C APIs -- because C++ has a much more shitty ABI, making the C API the only one that can actually be consumed cross-compiler and cross-language-binding. One of the other shitty interface parts -- use of overloaded options parameters -- also tends to be a side effect of trying to maintain cross-version ABI stability.
