Sure, you were clear enough about that.  My point was simply that at
least for older Macs it probably is not that big a problem (but I do
have a Panther still running, at least as of March it did ;-).

Similarly, for platforms where we build with GCC, many of these
features have been available for a long time with switches.

Adding it all up, we don't want to break anybody inadvertantly and we
should take care to fix what breakage we can in advance, but I think
it's time to allow at least some of these features, and maybe move to
C99 wholesale.
