This statement requires evidence which you have not provided. You
provide no evidence that most, or even many, C++ programmers need the
thing you're talking about. The fact that you personally want it and
can imagine how others might find it useful is not evidence that it is
actually useful to C++ programmers.

Since that's the very foundation of your idea, it should be dismissed
on the basis of that alone.
