    With respect to keeping the language small and simple (C2x charter 6c and 11) this of course adds a feature. It allows higher-order type rules (Forall types X, T<X> is a type) which adds to C the remaining part of the negative fragment of natural deduction for minimal logic [1], implications being function types and conjunctions implemented by struct types.

    You probably want tohave a lok at the WG14 proposals by Jens Gustedt.
    It is a series of N papers building on each other. If all are accepted,
    that would give you these features (via C++-style auto and lambda).
