In re-reading my comment, I can see my position was not clear. I am
very much in favor of relying on more C99 features, especially
decl-after-stmt. I'm not opposed to your solution, so much as
questioning whether others are still trying to stick to the C89 rules,
as well as point out that sticking to C89 in this case would be
anachronistic given that we already have rely on other C99 features like
// for comments.

Ahh. My review was not thorough enough, then. Still, clang didn't
complain about the first value[0] dereference?
At any rate, your additional explanation, coupled with my second review
of that function, is enough to warrant ACK, once 1/7 is resolved.
