I'd prefer not to introduce a situation in which compiling the same code
with "gcc" and with "g++" behaves differently and which performs worse
in one case than the other.  Users expect the C subset of C++ to perform
like C.

If we want the C99 rules, let's just turn them on everywhere, and then
let users who want "quick and dirty" complex arithmetic to use the flag
that turns that on.  And, turn that on by default for -ffast-math?
