I've seen this concept tried a few times (For example, MS tried it with Managed C++). The inevitable problem you run into is any such language isn't C++. Because of that, you end up needing to ask, "why pick this unpopular half C/C++ implementation and not Rust/go/D/Java/python/common lisp/haskell."
A big hard to solve problem is you are likely using a C because of the ecosystem and/or the performance characteristics. Because of the C header/macro situation that becomes just a huge headache. All the sudden you can't bring in, say, boost because the header uses the quirks excluded from your smaller C language.
