Not to be outdone, I should say the same is true of Oregon C++, a product
of my company.  We don't discriminate on the basis of file names, as long
as the extention starts with 'c' or 'C'.  Further, you choose C or C++
compilation with a compiler flag, not via the file name.  If you wish to
choose compilation mode on the basis of file names, you can write that
into the make file script.

If you are unhappy with the parochial attitude of your C++ compiler,
complain to the vendor, or switch to a more ecumenical one.
