Disagree. Some good libraries are C++, so linking to them requires you to use Obj-C++ (at very least, changing the name to *.mm).

Yeah, I meant things like sample code for plain C frameworks, where the author has just decided "hey, why not do this in Obj-C++ instead of Obj-C." As I recall, many of the AudioToolbox examples are like this.

Didn't mean to imply that there's no place for Obj-C++, just that it's not good style if you don't actually need it (like to wrap a C++ lib).
