I'm certain the Committee must have had a good reason, but I agree
(mostly) with the following quote from "Using and Porting GNU CC"
(about page 21 in the 8.5x11 hardcopy):

     @item -trigraphs
     Support ANSI C trigraphs.  You don't want to know about this
     brain-damage.  The @samp{-ansi} option also has this effect.

I also agree with the spirit of the following option (page 14):

     @item -Wtrigraphs
     Warn if any trigraphs are encountered (assuming they are
     enabled).

mind UVM's, EMBA's, EMBA-CF's, or indeed anyone else's.
