If we keep it strictly declarative, then, at least, we’ll have this possibility in the future. Sounds like a pretty unlikely scenario. Why would you implement clinic in C?
We'll never reimplement Argument Clinic in C. I could list many reasons for this. Suffice to say, I'm not doing it, and I doubt anyone else would ever step up to the plate and try it.
And, "form follows function". It's a bad idea to limit Argument Clinic's features today based on what might be inconvenient someday in some hypothetical rewrite in C. Argument Clinic should be maximally useful, right now.
