 Replying to [comment:6 Sebastian]:

 transition over.

 It's an option!  Naturally transitioning for a while is probably a good
 idea, though.

 > Also, what about the previous comment?

 You mean the one about other c99 features?  I think we should be careful
 there; the only one we've really wanted so far has been the mid-block
 declarations.  If we find out that all compilers have those, it might not
 mean that all compilers have designated initializers.  Or we might decide
 that (say) compound literals are silly.  So let's go on a case-by-case
 basis.
