I want to be able to use C11 atomics in Guile, internally.  I think
externally as far as the interface goes we can probably upgrade to C99
given that even Emacs uses it these days.  I will try to answer these
four questions with GCC with C89 and C99, and if the answers are good I
will upgrade to C99 first, for the build.
