Who, last time I looked, did not think that the C runtime library
was part of the C programming language. So you seem to be slightly

Pascal defines its runtime library as part of the language. And
this is why (a) Pascal is a dead language, and (b) Modula-2 went
agressively the other direction.

Any particular reason why you hoisted up this strawman and chased it
