	cc(1) will generate incorrect code if you declare a forward
	reference and inadvertantly have an argument inside the ().
	...

When I compile your example, the 4.3 BSD compiler says:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
foo.c, line 1: illegal argument
------------------------------------------------------------------------

	... Probably this will all be fixed when pcc gets its ANSI
	standard upgrade?

What 'ANSI standard upgrade'?  It's news to me.  In fact I hadn't
heard that there was an ANSI standard yet.  (And will it be an
'upgrade' or a 'downgrade' if it arrives? :-)
