I got bitten by this and went off to check K&RII.  Lo, their grammar
in the appendix doesn't allow it although it does explicitly allow
a trailing comma on an array initialiser.

    int ok[] = {
        1,
        2,
        3,
    };

    enum bad {
        THIS,
        FAILS,
    };

A bit of a pain for automatically generated source which I gather is
the reason the first is allowed.
