Has anyone presented the 9c extension typestr to the C standardization
committee (WG14)?

Looking at the documents at <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/>,
I see that various vendors have let the committee know about their
extensions, both to offer directions for future standardization and to
ensure that the committee's new ideas don't break existing code based
on those extensions.

BTW, the C11 standard includes a restricted form of 9c's anonymous
sub-structs (with no pointer conversion).
