Yeah there's lots of fancy new stuff in C99.

Like variable length arrays, language-supported
complex (sqrt(-1)) data types, C++ style
initializations (mid-functions).  And you can
declare your loop index variable inside a for
loop's parentheses (its scope is defined only
for the loop).

I'm not ready to use most of that; it has less
value than some of the "old" extensions like
(void *) and 0-length arrays.  But some things
are defined very precisely and that's good.
