It's interesting that you didn't have anything to say about the
rest of what I wrote. One might assume that means you agree,
but I won't make that assumption.

You've never seen long long int in use? Variable-length arrays?
Flexible array members? <stdint.h>? Compound literals?
Designated initializers? "//" comments? Mixed declarations and
statements within a block? Math functions that take float or long
dobule arguments? _Bool and bool?
