Wow, David Howells put a lot of work into his April fools joke.
He certainly did, but it did help him find quite a few issues in the code.

I did something similar with my large C code base - compiled it as C++ and went and looked at all the issues thrown up. It helped me find quite a few subtle bugs that would have been very hard to spot otherwise.
