To be excluded from being syntactic sugar, it needs to be something
that is not generally possible to express within the base language.

So, for example: Things like operator overloading or classes are
syntactic sugar IMO, as what they do can be expressed in C, even if
a lot less pretty (or far from an idiomatic style).

I would not consider exceptions or RTTI as syntactic sugar, because

But surely *anything* that “is not generally possible to express
within the base language” woud “not map to native C”.
