OpenCL 2.1 C++ is still a provisional specification, so it seems a
little bit early to spend a lot of time on this without knowing the
final direction.

Once there is something new on this side, of course your approach seems
interesting to follow.

In the meantime, OpenCL 2.0 C is not complete in ToT yet, so I guess
that any effort would be appreciated there :-) because, as you said, it
will be a base for up-streaming OpenCL C++ later anyway.
