Annex K support comes up somewhat regularly from customers wanting it
but not understanding that it comes from the libc implementation
(mostly) and not the compiler. Clang's mailing list has gotten
requests for some Annex K support several times just in the past few
months. It's unfortunate how dismissive some folks are of the annex
because there's definitely user demand.
