I'd be interested to see a section like this written by someone who'd
actually done a nontrivial C++ extension and lived to tell the tale.
As is, this is so incomplete that my opinion is it's worse than useless.
It gives people the impression that writing an extension in C++ will
be easy.  When they find out it isn't, we'll get the blame.
