That would essentially mean we have two compilers to maintain at the end
of
the day because the semantics of certain operations would depend
entirely on
whether the compiler was in C mode or not.
True, but we are now doing something similar (probably something much
harder) which unlikely produces a positive outcome.
We say there is a compatibility where there was not (to which extend no
one knows), on the other hand there are new rules/syntax for the same
problems in the same language which would create awful amount of
confusion, not to mention ignoring the solutions to the problems.
On maintaining two compilers, i don't think this is a bigger issue because
C compiler and spec already here and never changes.
