Our C compiler (4.1 BSD) will ignor CTRL L's (form feeds). This is nice
because it allows one to ask for a new page at the begining of subroutines.
It is also not documented, probably non-standard, and probably should be an
error. How far back does this "feature" go? Is it in all, most, of just a
few of the compilers out there. If it is universal, shouldn't it be
documented?
