Excuse me -- I didn't realize that X3J11's printing of a bunch of pieces
of paper caused your compiler to stop accepting your already nonportable
abuse of the preprocessor.

A lot of people say "the Standard broke [whatever]".  The proposed
Standard breaks nothing.  Standard-conforming C implementations may
well not produce the same results as others have been producing, but
there has always been that degree of variation among C compilers.
The one thing the Standard does is make it simpler to assure program
portability among Standard-conforming compilers, for which the rules
are relatively clearly defined.

I think a lot of these gripes are the result of enhanced awareness
about variations in (already existing!) C environments that discussion
about the proposed Standard brings out.
