How sensible this maybe, I don't feel like improving C, at all. It would be much more beneficial to bring C into the Rust cargo infrastructure, such that mixed C and Rust projects can exist with minimal friction. I just did a search and it seems https://crates.io/crates/cc https://crates.io/crates/cc comes close. If only an IDE could do the job automatically when it finds .c files in the project. Even better, it should find and install a local compiler when needed (C or any other).
