People must have learned this by imitating what senior contributors
send to the list, but the "[Subject] area: title" thing does not
appear in that document. I agree it should (patches welcome).

Yeah, when there is no code that does decl-after-statement, with the
"imitate surrounding code" rule alone, I agree that it is a bit hard
to tell we do not allow it (as opposed to seeing a construct is
often used and assuming that the construct is permitted, which is
much easier).

I just read SubmittingPatches again and looked for 1a as found in
that patch, and it is there.

There is no guarantee your CC would understand it; you don't even
know if it is a gcc in the first place.

See 6d62c98 (Makefile: Change the default compiler from "gcc" to
"cc", 2011-12-20).
