"best effort" might be making two modes.

When calmly thinking, the issue becomes complex because I try to
support both ANSI and K&R at the same time.
I'm thinking about making ANSI mode.

In ANSI mode, it is thought that programs are written only by ANSI style.
The macro problem below can be solved at least in ANSI mode.

The mode is specified by some environment variable.

% gtags                 <= the same behavior as old times
% setenv GTAGSANSIC 1
% gtags                 <= ANSI C mode

The default mode is left as it is.
If everyone agrees, the ANSI mode will become new default mode.
When programs written by K&R disappear from the world,
I would like to delete old mode.

What do you think?
