Why not? People use Allegro with C++, people use C++ callbacks, but they can't 
throw exceptions from callbacks without the switch. As I understand the 
manual, it doesn't sacrifice any speed so the only things you get by not 
using it are a few saved bytes and users who can't throw C++ exceptions from 
callbacks.
