I would rather see multiple forks than see bits and pieces of different
versions. I would be completely happy with C99. The whole point of TCC is
to have a C compiler that can run on limited-resource machines, and trying
to be everything for everyone risks missing the main objective.

I think that "Hyrum's Law" is a poor excuse for doing almost anything. If
you take that to the extreme, it can only be satisfied by implementing your
compiler exactly the same as the "standard" implementation, which is
obviously inconsistent with the goals of Tinycc, and can only result in
endless
I don't think that's the right question. The question is, why add something
non-standard to the language that's easy enough for anyone who wants it to
just add as a macro? To me people not answering THIS question is what leads
to fragmented languages.
