This is a meta issue for others. As per title, there seems to be no proper gauge as to whether a C program should genuinely be compilable, runnable, or not.

Since every C compiler has extensions, and I can't remember a C header file yet that could resist using them, ImportC has to compile them, too. The ImportC C extensions are pretty much all either extensions used in C .h files, or ones that come from the use of D semantic routines. If ImportC was a strict C11 compiler, it would not be useful to our users.

Only 23718 is left, so no need to keep this issue.
