Here's some info on it.

As you can see the two runtimes simply co-exist.

It didn't always exist.   C++ is a different language that doesn't 
inherit everything from GNU C.  For example, you can't use nested 
functions in C++ like you can in C.   And until there was this 
integration work, Objective C syntax was rejected by the C++ compiler.  
If Objective C is areasonable extension to C, Objective C++ seems like a 
reasonable thing to do to C++..
