Is there a good reason for sticking with ANSI C? It's my understanding
that even most small/minimal compilers support C99 (or most of it)?

The coding style document even endorses it: "Use C99 without extensions
(ISO/IEC 9899:1999)"

(Again, just curious, don't want to argue anything one way or the other.
It's just something I've wondered for a while).
