Then again, I am working as a member of a group which is porting C to a machine
for use by the Air Force, and I shudder to think of code written in a language
that permits such reckless manipulation of pointers and coercions winding up
in a cruise missile or cruise missile emulation. How about something nasty
blowing up because someone writes

	if (a = b) rather than if (a == b)

or uses preincrement instead of postincrement?
