Subject: Meaning of __STDC__?

Is there an official statement as to what __STDC__ means? Does it mean "This
compiler (in its current operating mode) fully supports ANSI Standard C," or
does it mean "This compiler (in its current operating mode) disallows all
extensions to ANSI Standard C."? In my opinion, common practice and the
Rationale both support the former, rather than the latter, but is
there an official ruling?
