OK we are regurgitating the C++ in the kernel Flame War again.
Yes you can write reusable code in C, however what you end up writing will
most likely look a lot like hand crafted C++ written in C. Why not use the
C++ compiler, which has all of those language constructs built into it to
support extensible re-usable code?
