Well, as nearly all gcc language extensions, the extension specification
is not a formal specification, but more like handwaving ...

Rather than restricting the extension, we should consider deprecating it
(for C++!) in 4.1 and remove it from 4.2.  I see no use for it in C++ code
and recent actions were in favor of removing C++ language extensions.
