It's not a suggestion. Our Coding Style is a mandatory requirement for
code review. I already pointed out that it affects readability for those
accustomed to our Coding Style. Instead of you arguing over it I
expected you to acknowledge it and to adapt your code.

First, they're not "my" QOM objects. I did not invent it.

Second, we are certainly not going to let every contributor, especially
not new ones, make their own choices of programming language inside our
code base. QOM was not just a transitory tool, some people here (not me)
were and are against C++, which currently is optional for AArch64
disassembler.
