Quick new C++ file (small question)

Zini:
I think this sequence

could easily be reduced by one step by integrating the C++ part into the C/C++ source part.

We are already choosing what type of file we want at that stage. Why have another stage to choose the language?

The file type list would then look like this:
C header, C++ header, C source, C++ source, Empty file

@Jens: CtrlShiftN opens an empty file without any popup for the file name.

The popup only occurs, if a project is open, if not, ctrl+s tries to save the file and asks for a name, if you now save with cpp-ending, you have c++ syntax-highlighting.
