My experience is that the C++ plugin isn't very functional.  It seems to
have some bugs and crash pretty frequently as well.  Also, it seems like
nobody is actively working on it.

I wonder if you could do some trick like have a library, then use
'compile' in C mode to dlopen it.  Not great of course.
