How close are we to that state today?  We'd need all the K&R C gone,
and would need to avoid C++ keywords, but probably the big one is
playing fast and loose with enums.

It seems that before making a judgment of either "positive feedback"
or "over my dead body" it makes sense to know the size of the changes
required.
