Let's hope, then, that C200x will include array assignments too! :-)
Seriously, C99 tries to be a good scientific language, but really it is
not IMHO. And "the people in the field" seem to agree. Also, nobody
said it's a good think that C is evolving into Fortran. Just another
attempt to be the "Language Of Everything".
I wonder how many people really use C99's numerical features including
complex data types.
