There has been mention of the `entry' keyword as a possible method of
implementing multiple function entries in C.  I would like to clarify
its use (or in this case lack thereof).

	The entry key word was never implemented and is no longer
reserved.

Who knows how long this will take to "free up" the word in most C
compilers, though.
