:C99 adds even more ways to obfuscate code (for instance, allowing
:variable declarations anywhere in a code block, not just at the top).

Ha! I did it first. DICE allows variable declarations virtually
anywhere a statement is allowed. So, for example, this works:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
fubar(i);
int j = 2;
fubar(j);
}
Figuring out the difference between a statement and a declaration
is the *ONLY* thing in a C parser that requires some sophistication.
Having declarations appear only after open braces doesn't help the
parsing in the least... once the parser figures out the difference,
it's figured it out anywhere where a statement can occur.
But even though I implemented this cool feature in DICE, I hardly ever
used it.
