Well, technically, it *can*; Saber-C is one example.  However, it is
fairly expensive to make it check (`gets' itself does not do the checking
in Saber, but rather the underlying implementation; and the checking
vanishes when you use precompiled code), and most implementations will
not, so the above remains good advice.
