So what exactly is better / faster / clearer / safer in C23?

Auto as per C++ where its used as a substitute for unknown/long winded
templated types or in range based loops? C doesn't have those so there's no
reason to have it. If you don't know what type you're dealing with in C then
you'll soon be up poo creek.

 - digit separator (better, safer)

Meh.

 - binary literal useful

We've had bitfields for years which cover most use cases.

 - #elifdef, OK not a problem, not complex..
 - _has_include useful
 - [[nodiscard]] safer (although I think it could be better defined)
 - static_assert no param (clear)

Meh.
