Well, yes and no. For me the _original design_ is responsible also
for a lot that was (had to be) adjusted, fixed, and extended later.

Sure.

That's what I'm also regularly saying. - In my longish post you may
have missed it:

You cannot fundamentally change "C" as it is; not after more than
five decades (since its birth), and also not after it had been
standardized; it just makes no sense to even start an argument on
that. - If you think it's "bad" don't use it.
