Thanks for the ping, though I'm a bit puzzled by the "5.4-2". Perhaps=20
you're referring to an older edition of the book? Does Gustedt recommend=20
a macro for this sort of thing?

The macro name seems pretty long, given how commonly used this would be=20
for code that uses Gustedt's style. How about a shorter name like=20
"ATIC", short for "Array TINIEST INDEX COUNT"? This macro name is short=20
and (unlike "STATIC") is unlikely to be used in existing code.

Also, we should arrange for __STDC_NO_VLA__ to be 1 on compilers that=20
don't define that macro but lack support for VLAs.
