For the purpose described below, you'd also have to remove any text that
matches any sufficiently large contiguous subset of the C standard. That
would occur in a significant fraction of all messages posted in this
newsgroup, as well as in the documentation of most C compilers. There's
also a pretty good chance of such subsets occurring in contexts
associated with other C-like languages.

Not by a long shot. That doesn't include the things that don't appear in
the standard, and also don't appear in any documentation anywhere. Those
things infinitely outnumber the things that do appear somewhere in some
documentation.
