I actually think the two are separate from one another: We could certainly
require C99 to use some, but not all of what it permits. Whether to allow
declarations in the middle of statements is possibly worth a separate
discussion (and I view this distinctly different from having decls in e.g.
loop headers, where the variables then still have a pronounced scope).
