Hi Joseph,
Yes, that would be great!
I hope they add that to the language. When/if that happens, nitems()
could be `#define nitems(arr) _Lengthof(arr)` for std >= c2x.
In the meantime, I would add this macro to libc.
Maybe gcc could add such a great feature as an extension even before the
standard does...
Too many wishes :)
BTW, I sent a PATCH v4 that I should've sent --in-reply-to PATCH v3 in
this thread (but I forgot to do so); I'll link to it here:

Thanks,
Alex
