It's one almost every compiler accepts from the original K&R compiler
through to gcc (although in more pedantic modes gcc bitches about it
nowdays)

It's "defacto" C even if not standard C. I don't think describing it as
an "extension" is even an accurate description. It's tolerating a 'quirk'
of the language much accepted by compilers.
Does it cause complications to make it just warn instead ?
