I didn't realize that.  I think it should be OK for new code then.

What I would like to see prohibited in header files is anything that isn't common between C and C++ in header files, e.g., C99 designated initializers, unless the header is fully functional for C++ due to appropriate #ifdef __cplusplus sections.  Those are a headache for C++.
