Actually, the fact that BoringSSL's ML-DSA implementation uses C++ with heavy
use of integer-parametered templating is more insurmountable for borrowing
their code.  Yes, it does allow them to reduce their LoC to ~3000 and is much
more readable, but I can't do that in C.  Now, if we want to work on
persuading Linus to allow C++ into the kernel...
