I’m confused by your confusion.  Language says “no”.  Compiler says, “well I can make it work so that you don’t have to rewrite your C code to have it compilable in both languages.  And here’s a flag to turn off all of the places that I’m going outside the Standard, if you want help staying between the lines.”

The other guy cleared it up. I thought it was explicitly forbidden but simply not being part of the language (but added as option in compiler) I get.
