We'll never reimplement Argument Clinic in C. I could list many reasons
for this. Suffice to say, I'm not doing it, and I doubt anyone else
would ever step up to the plate and try it.
And, "form follows function". It's a bad idea to limit Argument
Clinic's features today based on what might be inconvenient someday in
some hypothetical rewrite in C. Argument Clinic should be maximally
useful, right now.
