This is probably a bit premature given that we still are treating the
C99-isms as weather balloons. The idea was to keep things in an
easily-revertable state for at least a couple of major versions.

The referenced changes are only in core Git as of v2.34.0, and we are not
even half-way through the v2.36.0 cycle.

Do not get me wrong, I have nothing against this living in `seen` for now,
but it should wait before it advances, probably at least until v2.36.0 if
not v2.37.0.

Ciao,
Johannes
