IMHO it is not a good idea.
1) We are not using it anywhere, not even in FFmpeg
2) It was "only" added in C99 so in some special cases compiler support
might still be lacking
3) In my experience, lots of developers are completely oblivious to its
exact semantics and in particular which performance effects they have.
