I have googled for "embedded declarations" and can only find them in
reference to C++.  I can't find any mention of them in connection to C,
either GNU or Microsoft.

Unless something new comes up, let stick with the "defacto ansii" which is
the real ansii plus //, typedef, etc.  This defacto language seems to be a
standard across the open-source world.

Of course the actual definition is whatever my Visual Studio supports and I
have a feeling it will be frozen at whatever it is forever since Billy Gates
cares not a whit about C anymore.

If the Psycho technique really works, we may be writing everything in
Prothon at some point soon anyway.  Wouldn't that be awesome.
