Is importC ready?

I tried to compile a simple C file this morning, containing
```
#include "nmath.h"
double fsign(double x, double y)
{
#ifdef IEEE_754
if (ISNAN(x) || ISNAN(y))
return x + y;
#endif
return ((y >= 0) ? fabs(x) : -fabs(x));
}
```
I assumed this would be straightforward since it doesn't have a
bunch of dependencies and it's only a few lines of code. Instead,
I got a stream of errors. After running the file through the
preprocessor, I had to comment out anything with
- `__extension__`
- Restricted pointers `*__restrict`
- `_Float128`
- `__asm__`
And in the source, anything with ISNAN, or in the preprocessed
file,
- `__builtin_isnan`
I [filed a bug](https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22496).
After this experience, it's not obvious to me that importC is
ready to be part of a stable compiler release. Maybe I just had
bad luck with the choice of file.
