Subject: using C99 in nasm

Hi,

is there a special reason why don't we
use C99 style of assignment for structure members?

For exmaple when assign ofmt structure members
why don't use positional independing fashion
like

struct ofmt of_macho = {
	.fullname	= "NeXTstep/OpenStep/Rhapsody/Darwin/MacOS X object files",
	.shortname	= "macho",
	.helpstring	= NULL,
	.debug_formats	= null_debug_arr,
	...
};

For the sake of portability maybe?
