I don't have time nor skills but I think it's an interesting feature and I
wouldn't like clang
to be the only compiler to have it. Besides if gcc implements it too it
would make a kind of standard...
But maybe true C programmers find that it's nothing more than a syntaxic
sugar but I would answer that C
is just syntaxic sugar for ASM ;-)
