Lol no. It's just Arthur Whitney style C (with the repo in question being originally written by Whitney).

Whitney kind of set the stage for this but it got adopted informally as a style by the people at IPSA (I. P. Sharp Associates) and spread throughout the industry.

Whitney style C isn't great for everything but it's not bad for interpreter writing and other text/stream touching tasks.
