Besides the fact that its unintuitive and could lead to low-level or hard-to-find bugs?
It seems to me that C would benefit greatly to iron over its many inconsistencies and exactly the kind of thing people expect in new revisions of the language.
Also, I dont see how it would impact previous working code when compilers already do things like allow selections between versions of languages a la C99, C2x, etc. Users could just avoid the new version if they don't feel like changing.
