I'm in the wg14, and I made a passionate argument against defer. C is all about simplicity and clarity, over conviniance. Defer, is an invisible jump, its much better using a goto, that clearly denotes a change in flow. In C everything should be as clear and as explicit as possible. Nothing should happen without the user explicitly saying so. This means more typing, and thats fine, there are plenty of languages that offer loads of syntax sugar if thats what users want, but only C offers clarity.
