But, but.

Yea, agreed. I also don't think we want to adopt all of C99 at once, but rather do it piecemal. Feature by feature. I'd worked on setting up a modern gcc (or was it clang?) with the appropriate flags to warn about !C89 stuff some time back, but failed because of configure bugs. I think Robert has committed most of the fixes since, and I now actually could do the rest one of these days...
