I'm not at all sure the question would be received and answered as intended in such a group. And besides, I am convinced that there are some people here who are very knowledgeable in the field of language design, and who can give objective and valid answers. Some are even employed by companies that write C++ compilers and related tools. Thanks for your ball-rolling-start, and I'm sure you will stick around to make sure any answers are more or less reasonable.
