enable an incremental transition.
That's why Clang introduced the pragma, enabling new rules to be
adopted incrementally.
Let's avoid forking C :)
Do you consider the standard pragma `#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS` to be a
language fork? If not, why is a pragma to control nullability of
pointers different?
Sorry, I put the reply at a wrong point in the quote. I didn't refer to
the pragma, but the the previous paragraph. Basically, I meant let's
not add _Nullable to C3X, and add just _Nonnull.
