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?
