stap can already somewhat support C++, just because of the similarity to C.  To
have better support we need:

- proper handling of C++-name mangling when specifying the function to probe.
- support for C++-specific types -- classes, references, etc.

(bonus)
- library functions to simplify accessing the contents of some common STL types,
like string and vector.
- tapsets for throwing & catching exceptions.

Anything else?
