Not true (about Fortran).  I vaguely remember (about 1980) when IBM
Fortran switched from one calling convention to another.  I initially
missed the one-line change in the manual update sheets.  A working
program started giving strange results until I finally figured out
what was going on and then found the one line 'announcement'.
