I'm thinking more of a buffer local toggle. There're going to be times
when some hacker suddenly comes across a file with K&R function decls and
will want to be able to toggle it effortlessly.

Maybe, maybe not. But it wouldn't do any harm. (There are 11 spare C-c
C-<letter> bindings still unused in CC Mode.)

That's fine. But I was more thinking of it as a new feature than a bug
fix, and thus for CC Mode 5.33 / Emacs 25. I've no particularly strong
feelings as to the default; I think it should be OFF eventually, but
leaving it ON to begin with seems sensible.
