Should offer improved C development features for mainframe

Should offer improved C development features for mainframe

IBM comment: this "RFE" was captured on-the-fly during VoiCE discussions. To be given a proper disposition (accept, reject, etc.) and to come actionable, it must eventually be decomposed into a set of more fine-grained and specific requirements each as its own RFE. For now we urge the RDz user community, by casting votes (or not) for this IDE, to indicate to us how widespread is the opinion that we need to invest more in C language tooling support.
