The mentioned software development freedom is restricted if you would like to
provide source code that is compliant to the (current) C standard. If the
source files do not completely adhere to the programming language rules, I find
that the trust in the functionality of the corresponding compilation result
will be reduced.

I imagine that there are still opportunities to fix rule violations
incrementally.
How do you think about to introduce additional preprocessor macros?
