With C11 comes the _Generic feature to enable a form of generic  
programming. That's pretty nice, actually, from my standpoint, but I  
wonder if others who do more programming in C than I have thoughts on it?  
I use C mostly as a means to implement other languages, so I have some  
fondness for the ability to do this sort of generic programming.

Programming is just another word for the Lost Art of Thinking.
