C# (and any other .NET assembly) can be interacted with using the CLR Handle
type ('^' vs C's '*'), which gives the necessary indirection for the .NET
GC(compaction) to function.
However as stated, Mixed-languge files (ObC/C++, ending in .mm) are unique, For
the .NET CLR, it's one language, on compiler per file, so you'll still have C#
and cpp files, just those .cpp files can have ^ in them.
