Following up my own posting. Gag! What I should have said: We rotten, daring, or compiler abusing programmers are a much bigger market than the hypercompetent, rule following, or very conservative programmers who would never think of stress testing a compiler, and Lattice should target and implement their compilers for our needs, not theirs. Since the distinction as said originally was unfair to (some of) those whose programs break buggy compilers, and unfairly praised (some of) those whose programs don't. ;-) Kent, the man from xanth.
