Hi Paul,

Isn't the first part of this condition a bit optimistic? I think that
experience in the past has shown that compiler vendors tend to bump the
__STDC_VERSION__ value when they have implemented part but not all of the
features of that ISO C version.

So, there is some risk in adding "201104 <= __STDC_VERSION__ || "
and no risk in omitting it.
