Yes, and all I was really trying to do was point out that
I view this as apologism. My position is that this is a
wart of the language; hence, any jaundiced representation
to help oneself cope with it is apologism per se. Now that
you say it, however, I can see the utility in your perspective.

I do things differently, myself. I declare things this way:

int* p1;
int* p2;

I never do line compaction. That's how _I_ deal with this
particular language wart.
