Nowadays there is tighter liaison between the C and C++ committees, so if
it gets proposed for C++ it will more-or-less automatically also get
proposed for C.

The C++ committee is really trying to get away from the preprocessor, so my
guess is they would be more interested in Robert's static_warning
suggestion, although they might want to recast even that as some sort of
constexpr function.
