 Replying to [comment:1 desrosj]:
 > `.cpp` files are not in the list of file types that WordPress allows to
 be uploaded by default.
 > There is no setting to enable this,

 Why? I see in the code following parts of code:

 {{{
 case 'unfiltered_upload':

 current_user_can( 'unfiltered_upload' )

 function populate_roles_230() {
         $role = get_role( 'administrator' );

         if ( !empty( $role ) ) {
                 $role->add_cap( 'unfiltered_upload' );
         }
 }
 }}}

 It seems, this function was present in the past. Why did this possibility
 disappear?

 It is inconvenience.
