Although I obviously want to see all new style ANSI declarations, there
is a fix for this even if we stay with old style.  We can add to our
local style rules that a function may never take a char, a float or
any type that is promotable.  This is a rule I use in my own code even
though I always use ANSI declarations anyway.  It would be necessary
in any case if we want to allow deansification.

Of course, this is only a fix if we follow it whereas having all ANSI
code fixes it regardless.
