Re: constexpr keyword is unnecessary

MS is in a somewhat different position than other C compiler
vendors. They decided - for various reasons - not to support C99 other
than parts that had direct correspondence with C++ features.  Without
having followed any of the proceedings, I suspect the reason VLAs are
optional in C23 is because MS wants to avoid adding more than they
have to before being able to jump to (approximate) C23 conformance.
"constexpr" will be relatively easy for them, as they have it in C++
already.

 Yes, Microsoft pretty much skipped over C99, but if I recall correctly
their current C compiler has reasonably good support for C11.
