Nowadays, even Fortran is rapidly doing offloading, so the original reason for keeping `libomp` as C needs to be revisited. We definitely don't want to link against LLVM libraries, but I'm leaning toward making `libomp` a proper C++ library while still providing C APIs. We would not provide C++ APIs.

Yeah, I'd be in favor of this. As long as you compile with these magic flags `-fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Werror=global-constructors -nostdlib++` the use of C++ is only a benefit IMO.
