> Thank you for catching these mistakes! I'm of two minds: some of these changes seem valid and correct, but I don't think they were intended. For example, `printf` family functions now having pointers marked `restrict` maps to the standard signature for them and seems like a good change. But a change like with `__addressof` may be more questionable. Perhaps we should restore the old behavior in all cases, then re-land the good changes in follow-ups. That's more effort now, but it's easier for people to track down why a change was made in a few years. WDYT?
I can do that.
