It matters to me, because nginx (my job) doesn't use autotools, and doesn't 
specify a language version, so it compiles with whatever the system default is. 
And we support CentOS7, so we need to support gnu89.  I've battled a lot to 
specify gnu11 in the cc command line, but so far I've repeatedly met a stone 
wall of unjustified FUD, and the patch didn't make it.

Which means I can't use loop variables or C99 inline. :(
