making your C API C++ safe

There's no better instructor than a well built API.

Here's a thoughtfull feature of the Python/C API that I would like to take into account when designing the upcoming Sensor Platforms API:

"C++ users should note that though the API is defined entirely using C, the header files do properly declare the entry points to be extern "C", so there is no need to do anything special to use the API from C++."
