No - it's more annoying (IMHO) :-). I'd rather you change all uses of
these keywords over the entire source code (don't use leading underscores,
make the change more meaningful - leading underscores may be reserved for
use by the system). Can you give me a list of keywords you need to avoid ?

I'd rather fix this by doing :

#define class #error DONT_USE_C_PLUS_PLUS_KEYWORDS
#define template #error DONT_USE_C_PLUS_PLUS_KEYWORDS

etc...

then fix the code so everything compiles. Once that's done
we can surround these defines with an #ifndef __cplusplus
and we'll be done.
