I'm not here to argue semantics. I use -Wdeclaration-after-statement to avoid
accidentally introducing code that will fail with compilers that do not support
this. Having an equivalent for the for loop construct would have saved me some
time today. If all compilers supported C99 fully, there would be no need for
any of this, but sadly this is not the case.
