FWIW, this is what Java does.  It seems mildly useful.  There are only
3 instances of it in all of libgcj.  Though libgcj may not be the most
representative code, being mostly written by people with a long C
background.  I typically forget that this construct is even available.

To my mind it would be preferable to keep the Java syntax (and
semantics) if this were to be imported into C.
