Oh, that'll give cute 'problems' in a mixed C/C++ project that just
happens to have __vt names in. Now of course I'm aware that C/C++
'reserve' the __ prefix, which I suppose that makes it less likely in
practise.

Seems like a good way out, we could think about adding a language
heuristic that tries and guess the target language and auto enables when
it guesses C++, but that needs to have overrides as well.
