This is roughly what happened with GCC. Back in the days of GCC 2 there was a strong bias towards C (and against C++). That was one of the reasons for the fork and eventual take over by EGCS. Sometime later, around 2008, GCC started switching to using C++ compilation rather than C compilation. See https://lwn.net/Articles/542457/ A+ Paul
