I was, there was no where in I was saying we should break ISO standard but
I was saying that GNU C needs to better defined and if in that point, making
it clearer that GNU C is superset of ISO C, that is the best way of doing it.
Making what volatile means to GNU C clearer is no different than making
saying in the documention what volatile means to the ISO C standard.
