There are some Good Parts to C99/C11, most of them adopted from Unix and Plan 9. Not surprisingly, most of the bad parts are all inventions.

Read the link to dmr's comment again. His argument wasn't so much that noalias was specified incorrectly, it was that the whole idea of adding any kind of alias specifier to the language is against the spirit of C. I agree, and apparently so did the C++ committee. If you want to write FORTRAN, write a FORTRAN spec. Leave C alone.
