Mike in fact is being guided by a not too much out of date draft
of the ANSI C standard.  I sent him my bug list some time ago,
and almost all of those bugs have been fixed for ORCA/C 1.1.

I have no idea what you are talking about with regard to
"referencing things before they are defined".  So far as I can
tell, ORCA/C 1.1 has no serious problems that could fall under
that label, whatever it is supposed to mean.  (How about an
example?)
