So, IMHO, if C waits for C++ then it will wait forever.

 
Seems like C is already committed to avoiding incompatibilities with C++,
if the decision on thousands separators in numbers is anything to go by.

As a matter of official policy, the C and C++ committees are both
committed to avoid creating gratuitous incompatibilities between the two
languages. That simply means that if you are proposing a change to
either language that would create an incompatibility, you need to have a
sufficiently good justification, and your proposal is more likely to be
approved if you can redesign it to avoid the incompatibility. It also
means that changes to make them more compatible need less justification
than ones that don't.
