Assuming you mean the "C" language I don't quite understand the last
part of the sentence. Wasn't 'extern' already in "K&R" - so what was
"the language" before the addition of 'extern'?
Or did you just mean to say "[...] before _combinations_ of 'extern'
and other storage-class specifier were added to the language."
