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.

It has been committed to avoiding /unnecessary/ incompatibilities with C++ since C++ perhaps C99.  The C and C++ committees will not introduce similar but incompatible features to each other unless there is very good reason to do so.  The fact that some people think 1_000 is nicer than 1'000 is not nearly enough to pick a different type of digit separator for C.
