Is Objective-C a proper superset of C99?



I'm a complete newbie to the list, so please don't hurt me! :-)

I've read through Apple's documentation on Objective-C and believe
that it is a proper superset of K&R C, but then ran across the
following post:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/objc-language/2004/Jan/msg00169.html

which suggests that it is now a superset of C99.  My question is this:
is Objective-C a proper superset of C99?

I ask because I need to write a parser for Objective-C and for C99. 
The easiest way for me to do this is to get the C99 parser file
working, copy it to another file,  and then build the Objective-C
stuff on top of that.

Also, is Objective-C guaranteed to be a proper superset of the latest
C standard (I'm thinking of ISO 9899) at all times?

Thanks,
Cem Karan
