I think these features may improve C code readability.
(Easy feature first).
* // one line comment
* inline function
static inline function can be used instead of may macros.
It is more readable, and type safe.
* Designated Initializers; { .key = value };

Different question. What features are we actually talking about? Is it
possible to enumerate them?
The only thing I'm aware of is declarations following non-declarations
in the same block, but I'm no C expert any more.

FYI, it's MSVC 14.0 (which is included in VS 2015).
Personally I'd like to see it restricted to the common subset of C99 and some
version of C++ (which is obviously mostly C and includes no C++), because I
know there are a few things in C99 only that are very obscure because they
aren't also in

Would you want this to be static (e.g. MSVC 2016 until we choose to update
to support C11), or would you want it to vary based on what's available
when the current/last
I think if we want to revisit this in the future it should be an
explicit change.

OK, then we could pin it to MSVC 2016, gcc 6.1, and clang 3.8.1 which are
the latest releases (unles
I want it to list specific versions that are known to be good right
now, so we can point fingers appropriately when a regression happens.
If you have to ask Steve what version he used, ask!

That sounds fine to me, but we need to list specific compiler versions.

Where did we finally land on this discussion? Do we want to update PEP 7 to
say that starting in 3.6 we may use C99 features common to all supported
compilers and list what those compilers are (i.e. gcc, clang, and MSVC)?
