No, __STDC_VERSION__ is defined by the compiler and is used to determine
which language version the compiler provides, while __ISO_C_VISIBLE is
defined by us and is used to decide which interfaces to expose to the
application based on what the application requested.  If you scan
through src/include, you'll note that __STDC_VERSION__ is only used
there when what matters is whether a certain keyword is provided by the
compiler, which is not the case here.
