In C, you could easily use called function stack
cleanup for all non-variadic functions, I would think.  The compiler
could even have a compatibility mode, for caller cleanup, and
different entry point naming prefix for faster calling mode, couldn't
it?

Many C compilers offer extensions for more efficient calling sequences, but they are non-standard.

By non-standard, I assume you mean not compatible with older compilers, not non-compliant with the C standard.
