I don't use any of those. There are quite a few that
I don't usually bother with, or don't use often.

volatile is also one that I've had little cause to
use. I would *not* want to see it removed from the
lang. I just don't happen to write stuff where
volatile would apply.

I think there's probbaly a lot of portions of the lang
that specific people rarely, or never, use. But the
lang is a multi-paradigm language. You don't need all
the bits-and-bobs. Until the day you *do* need one of
them, and then it's there. One day I will write a code
that gets used on a real-time-hardware system that does
change the value of variables, and volatile will be
pretty important. Or, one day, I will be using a non-
English keyboard or something, and the & key won't
be they & character.
