Many C compilers accepted this as non-standard extension already before C99 though (along with winged comments, and `for (int...)`). There is a lot of useful harmonization happening between the two languages (and mostly from the direction of C++ to C) From the perspective of a C coder, the one good thing about C++ is that it is basically the testing ground for new potential C features to figure out what works and doesn't work in realworld scenarios before the C standard is polluted too much with the ideas that don't work ;)
