The existence of users who report bugs about it suggests we should
deprecate it first and then remove it (whether the deprecation is in
3.5.0, or in 3.4.something). (Bearing in mind that this is an extension
adding expressive value, so a decision to remove it isn't as immediately
obvious as for other extensions that caused trouble without adding
expressive value - though this one certainly has caused trouble. *Why*
people use inline nested functions returning variable-sized structures I
don't know.)
Cf. <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2001-06/msg00134.html> and thread.
