The exact mix is not yet known, as Squid-3 is still under development,
but most likely there will be some C code left, and some of the C++
source will quite likely be more like C than C++.

Any new code written in Squid-3 is C++, and more and more of the old
code is being refactored into C++ classes to support the new C++ code in
an efficient manner.

Not out of the box, but Squid-3 already includes a framework there
content parsing/filtering/modification can be developed. See the Client
Streams chapter in the Squid Programmers Guide.

If you are interested in joining the Squid development to develop a
content parsing/filtering/modification model please pay a visit to
http://devel.squid-cache.org/
