Unicode programming, with examples in C
We embedded devs might be able to start consistently using C99 in about fifty years or so. Hopefully.
Lots of development kits barely support C89.

Ironically, most legacy C environments are commercial in nature. Open source tools seem to have a lot better track record in this regard.

Couldn't pre-processors be used to add such features? (I don't know anything about embedded development.)

CPP would not be enough, you would need full C99-to-C89 compiler with parsing to AST.

But the ICU headers require C99 anyway.
