I'm with you on this. The feature list reads like a subset of later C++ standards that fit within C's (deliberately) rudimentary feature set.
You could, in theory, just use C++ and be done with it. But like any C++ project you'd need a pretty strict style guide or even a linter, but this time it would have to be extra restrictive lest you slide into full C++ territory. And maybe that's a major stumbling block for some people?
