It is not the exact same scenaro but we are talking about backward
compatibility of languages in general. If new GCC breaks my C code or a
new Python interpretor breaks my python code, it is still breaking what
was working before. C specification is not breakfast reading so almost
everybody just go with what a compiler like GCC supports.
