So, what say you to updating PEP 7 to allow C99 features for Python 3.6 (in so much as GCC and MSVC support them)?

+1

Clearly it'll be 3.5+ only, and clearly it'll be a specific list of features ("C89 but also permitting //-comments, variadic macros, variable declarations on any line, inline functions, and designated initializers"). But I'm looking forward to it!

We already had macros for inline (e.g. Py_LOCAL_INLINE), maybe we can remove those.
