I'm not sure I'd entirely agree with that. It'd be fairly hard to
implement the Win32 libraries on most embedded systems, I suspect.
Unless "implement" includes returining a noop...

Anything which conforms to the language defined in the current C
standard is a C program, which includes programs that include
non-standard headers.

Inasmuch as Geordie is still English. Which is to say not with respect
to passing an exam or making yourself understood in Arizona or
