It's also important to note that "strictly conforming" is a piece of C
jargon.  I don't know (or care) whether strict conformance is relevant
to the discussion that should have stayed in comp.theory.

If something in comp.theory raises a question about C, I suggest
starting a new thread in comp.lang.c rather than cross-posting.

Followups redirected back to comp.theory.
