To be clear, I didn't mean to imply that somebody here is going to add unnamed
parameters to C, only, that apparently *you* are seeing attribute((unused)) as
something meant to solve the same sort of problem (your talking about
signatures, etc, confirmed my suspects) whereas I think those are different
problems. To repeat, I think it's perfectly normal for a parameter marked
attribute((unused)) to be actually used. Anyway, I'm not maintaining the C
front-end, maybe somebody is interested in your proposal, I have no idea.
