If this patch can survive a few releases without complaint,
then we can feel more confident that designated initializers
are widely supported by our user base. It also is an
indication that other C99 features may be supported, but not
a guarantee (e.g., gcc had designated initializers before
C99 existed).
Note that the GNU C designated initializers initially used a different
syntax than the one C99 adopted.
