From my understanding, in order to support C++, main needs to be compiled by the C++ compiler. As it stands now, that's precompiled into launchpad.a and linked during build. Would it be possible to refactor things to have launchpad.c compiled by us and maybe have it link to a launchpad_lib.a which would have the opaque guts you don't want open sourced? If there's proprietary stuff you don't want public, that could be put into the lib. Alternately, if it's just hidden for simplicity's sake it might be worth exposing so we can do some deeper tinkering.
Either way, it'd be really amazing to be able to use templates and member functions and lambdas and bools and function overloads and...
