Nope, that would force all vendors to make their compilers reject it.
As it is now, each vendor can define the effect of declaring a
function at block level with storage class static; if that effect in
many cases turns out to be the same as with the vendor's pre-ANSI
compiler, I shall not be surprised.

Clearly, this would never have come to pass in an ideal world.
