Sorry.  These kinds of changes are not acceptable.

We must continue to support building on systems that do not come with
an ANSI compiler by default.  Sorry.

If you want to investigate schemes which allow us to use ANSI function
definitions, but also seamlessly disables such definitions when not
using an ANSI compiler that would be acceptable.
