Thanks to Andrew (and the others who send e-mail) for pointing out my
stupid slip -- it is not and never has been C code.

But the question still remains -- does the C++ community favor
dissallowing the above code?  I've seen this style used in C++ programs. (I
didn't like it when I saw it, either).
