Does anybody know what the K&R-listed reserved word 'entry' was for?
Anybody have a compiler which uses it?
When I was bitten by one which rejected it, I was confused and resorted
to looking it up :-)  Sure enough, there it was....

The only application which came to mind was as a label for a non-local
goto.   I nearly threw up.

What does ANSI say?
