see? c++ is good for something, eh?

namespace Audiality {
	  typedef some_native_type whatever;
	  void do_something();
};

when we started amazon.com, we used g++ even though we were basically
writing straight c code. the main reason was to get better type safety and
a few other features. i can imagine that there are cases where
namespaces could be considered so valuable as to make it worthwhile
compiling otherwise straight c with a c++ compiler.
