that is actually a GNU extension that is supported by gcc and clang (at least)
and that sparse also recognizes as valid; it is also valid C++ so it might be
even supported by MSVC.

it will obviously trigger warnings if using pedantic mode and is IMHO not worth
the hassle to maintain in a portable codebase like git, but also wish could be
added to C2X
