[both Doug and Alex complain]
*arggh*! I forgot the blasted '8-)'! I *like* ANSI C! I also *like*
passing in char, short, or floats, when it will make my meaning clearer!
However, I also prefer declaring parameters the old-style way, since it can
save me typing. I want the best of both worlds! Surely this isn't too much
to ask for? 8-;
Again, I think most ANSI-C compilers will support this as an option, and I
*still* think GNU C should (just wait until I can get some free time...!).
