1. VLAs are a failure in C99.

2. I'd prefer to deal with stack allocated arrays by optimization rather than
new syntax & semantics, i.e.:

    int[] array = new int[5];

and determining that array[] can never leave its scope, and so can be allocated
on the stack.

3. Consider that static arrays are passed by value to functions, rather than by
reference. VLAs for static arrays mess this up.
