Hmm, sure it's a C++ example, so Cython/distutils will have to know that in
advance.

I think that's the same problem as Py2/Py3 source code. It's actually a
different language that you want to target with your source (as a backend like
C/C++ or as a frontend like Py2/3), but there is no way to say so from within
your source file.

But at least for the test suite, we could add a comment like "#c++" in the
first line, read the first few bytes of each test file and configure the
distutils Extension language option accordingly.
