Maybe he would like to have a modern C that is actually close to the machine which exposes L1-3 caches go the programmer which he has to manage himself.

That would be pretty cool though.

Since even ARM has L2/L3 caches, it wouldn't sacrifice the portability that C was built for either.

We can already do a lot of this in C with pragmas, no reason it couldn't be a macro-esque system.
