     Yeah, any language is unreadable to someone illiterate in it.  But
the Grand Pubahs of the C club actually encourage the most character-dense,
idiomatic style of programming and the language itself poses no restraints
to even near-APL levels of "cleverness".  Putting the merits of the 
language aside, when are the gurus of C themselves going to encourage
a more readable coding style instead of constantly sparing us five characters
of typing.
