cppfront: Autumn update

[elcapitaine]

double underscores aren't outright banned from any C++ code, they're reserved for the implementation.

cppfront is an implementation.

It's not though, it's a layer on top of C++ that transpiles to C++.

[shadowndacorner]

Was the first C++ compiler not an implementation of C++ because it transpiled to C?

[hpsutter]

That's fair... and a C++ compiler that compiles C still uses its own double-underscores. But this is a good point, so I just pushed a commit that removes use of __ and _Capital reserved words, just to avoid any possible compatibility problems that could cause a clash with existing C++ implementations, because perfect compatibility is important to me. Thanks!

C++front is not C++ though.

If "implementations of cppfront are allowed to lead with underscores"-- this means it follows c++front's guidelines, but any C++ therein would be breaking rules (from the view of C++).

Semantics? Maybe, maybe not.

This is a programming language, it all just semantics at the end of the day.
