Remember that the task of X3J11 was to define the C language.  It tried not
to dictate how to implement the language (other than to specify what the
language was that was to be implemented; I know that's a simplification).
Requiring such things listings, cross-references, assembly language output, and
preprocessor output was beyond the charter of the Committee.
