> kind of surprised this got in, being such a departure from C.

While completely gratuitous incompatibilities with C are not welcome, C compatibility in general was abandoned in new features long ago (consider range based `for` or the venerable `nullptr`).




Luckily (?) nullptr is in C23 so yay!


So kind of the C committee to help C++ reduce its incompatibility with standard C :-)
