Please hurry up and contact the X3J11 committee with this news!
They have a subcommittee (the Numerical C Extensions Group - NCEG)
who are wasting all sorts of time trying to correct this aliasing
problem that C has.  Since you _know_ it's not a problem, they are
obviously all idiots.  You should hurry to set them straight.

Whoops!  Forgot to mention: NCEG is also affiliated with WG14 (the
ISO C working group).  So you better set those guys straight too.

(It couldn't be that these people know something that Blair Houghton
doesn't?  Nah - no chance.)
