This isn't quite what I was asking.  Let me clarify.  Do you think WG14
intended that, eg, conventional operating systems be considered part of
conventional C implementations?  Examples of conventional OS are Linux
or Microsoft Windows.  Examples of conventional C implementations are
clang or gcc.

This is a yes/no question.  If you don't think so, or if you're
not sure for any reason, the answer is No.  Otherwise the answer
is Yes.
