Can you give an example of removing some backwards compatibility with C that would make C++ cleaner?

Converting static array references to pointers when passing them as a function parameter. The whole array/pointer conflation.

C's struct "tag name space".

Trigraphs and \ line splicing.

Replace #include with symbolic import.
