You shouldn't see edge case code like either. When you do, it often
requires a definitive reference. But I agree that C has cases that
should be more obvious than they are. Organic growth and a long history
can do that.

So why are you using C? What is so great about C that you can't stop
using it no matter how much you hate it?

You are shoe-horning C into your own categories. That does not usualy
end well (for any language). C does not have modules, imports, exports
or local functions. It's easier to write C if you do things the C way.
I won't explain how C does all this stuff, because you either already
know or don't what to know what that is.

You do don't you? It's a shame it is not popular, but you at least need
not complain about C ever again.
