The reason the standard says that is because people like me have already
suffered through the hate of dealing with compilers that did things like that
because there was no standard that said they shouldn't.

This is vintage hate, hate bottled in a time when the world was younger, and
simpler, and if anyone had told us we'd be hating some of the things we're
hating now we'd have looked at them and said something like "Star Trek isn't
reality, nobody would EVER be so stupid as to do THAT".
 
Hate like that you don't let go of all at once.

There's stuff above here
