Hm. You could imagine adding something like
#ifdef some-relevant-macro
#error include ordering problem, c.h must come before system headers
#endif
near the head of c.h. But I'm not sure how we'd get full coverage.
The case presumably would only occur for off-the-beaten-path headers
(this particular mistake was <sys/stat.h>), and there are lots of those.
