I don't think anybody can use the full scope of C, even with
assistance. What I see in the Linux kernel may be taking me in C
directions I've never seen before (with 20 yrs experience behind me),
but I suspect there are even more clever innovations right around the
corner.
Why on earth would you _not_ want to use an expressive document markup

Anyone remember my Guiness bet?
