Comment (by ubitux):

 We have about 85 C public headers currently. Am I correct to assume that
 you are asking us to add a C++ boilerplate cruft for every one of them?

 Note that in addition to clutter the public header read by our
 downstreams, it will suggest that FFmpeg headers are C++ compatible, which
 is NOT the case because it uses C99 specific features in various places,
 which are not supported by the C++ language.
