Isn't the CLI syntax for managed pointers itself a proprietary extension to C/C++?

They are. And it's pretty unlikely that anyone would code in Objective Managed C++.

Worst thing that could happen would be a slight conflict in the brain of people coding simultaneously in Objective-C and in Managed C++.

C++/CLI was originally developed by Microsoft and then standardized by ECMA.

OpenCL was originally developed by Apple and then formalized by the Khronos Working Group.

So, it kind of depends on your definition of proprietary.
