You're both right.

It's amazing that you and the ISO team are good stewards of the C standard. Thank you for being part of that.

And it can also be true that it was "hell" and "hardly worth it" for the OP to get a new feature added to the language. I believe it was a miserable experience that has him questioning how he spends his time.

Both can be true. Thank you for your efforts. And thank the OP for his efforts too.
