That's the same schedule we were on for C99, assuming linearity.  If
instead we assume that the speed increases with, say, more developers,
it seems reasonable to imagine that we'd have optional C2X features in
PostgreSQL 14 or 15, assuming support for it in at least two common
compiler toolchains ;)

Best,
David.
