As documentation maintainer I'm against this, since it's going to be a
hell to maintain, and I don't want to duplicate code changes/tests and
have to keep C/C++ code in synch.

What I suggest instead: we extend documentation on the wiki regarding
FFmpeg support with C++, so that the user knows exactly what
conversions are required when porting the code to C++.
