No, and that was the point that the original poster made. Just because you
can code composable functions in C does not mean that composable functions
are part of C.

But the original code fragment passed a string to a function. Hence, you
are not talking about a parser for C, but rather a parser written in C.
Hence, again, the original poster's argument makes the point.
