 The goal of the \CFA project (pronounced ``C-for-all'') is to create an extension of C that provides modern safety and productivity features while still ensuring strong backwards compatibility with C and its programmers.
-Prior projects have attempted similar goals but failed to honour C programming-style; for instance, adding object-oriented or functional programming with garbage collection is a non-starter for many C developers.
+Prior projects have attempted similar goals but failed to honour C programming-style;
+for instance, adding object-oriented or functional programming with garbage collection is a non-starter for many C developers.
 Specifically, \CFA is designed to have an orthogonal feature-set based closely on the C programming paradigm, so that \CFA features can be added \emph{incrementally} to existing C code-bases, and C programmers can learn \CFA extensions on an as-needed basis, preserving investment in existing code and programmers.
 This paper presents a quick tour of \CFA features showing how their design avoids shortcomings of similar features in C and other C-like languages.

 \section{Introduction}
+
 The C programming language is a foundational technology for modern computing with millions of lines of code implementing everything from commercial operating-systems to hobby projects.
 This installation base and the programmers producing it represent a massive software-engineering investment spanning decades and likely to continue for decades more.
