Why do we still care about C89? It is 2012 and we're talking about Python 3. What compiler on what platform that anyone actually cares about does not support C99?

The Microsoft compilers on Windows do not support C99: - Declarations must be at the start of a block - No designated initializers for structures - Ascii-only identifiers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7f8y25b.aspx -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
