Re: -std=c89 shouldn't allow post-statement declarations

[Jamie Zawinski <jwz at jwz dot org>]

The fact remains that the behavior of -std=c89 with respect to
post-statement declarations was changed between 2.96 and 3.2.2.

Was this intentional?  If so, what was the rationale?  I think it 
was a bad idea.

Cool, having a -Wdeclaration-after-statement would also satisfy me
(though I'd rather it be an error, as it was before, without going
as far as making *all* warnings be errors.)
