Thanks.  Unfortunately, this is IMO not better than the other
alternatives:

 . in a large enough project, the user doesn't have an easy way of
   knowing whether she needs K&R support
 . implementing such an option is not trivial, to say the least, given
   the complex state machines used by parsing of C-like languages by
   etags
