I find this truly amazing.  One of the most professional fonts of wisdom
on comp.lang.c (namely Doug) is being flamed by some idiot who clearly doesn't
understand anything more complicated than how to boot his PC.

In short, it IS NOT defined, your opinion is worthless, and evidently
you weren't interested in understanding what you were talking about,
either.  (What "system point of view"?) Try shutting up until you do.

on USENET who knows what they're talking about.  That's fewer than it should
be, but more than you would want.
