True, but a real compiler has been mentioned in the thread, and I know
that every time XEmacs lets a non-C89 feature slip through (most
commonly, "//" comments and declarations following non-declarations,
the latter being a killer feature in C-like languages IMO, but our
current coding standard says "C89") we get build breakage reports.
