Enough already!

If you have problems with == versus =, try
	#define EQ ==
This is quite obvious and not likely to confuse either the novice or
experienced programmer (like macros for IF, ENDIF, et cetera might).

Suffer through pow(x,y) notation, it's not *that* bad.  We've had to
type strcpy(s,t), strcmp(s,t), strcat(s,t), et cetera, for years.
Besides, there are real problems with defining new operators,
particularly for exponentiation.

Forget a logical exclusive-or operator.  (Really, how often would you
use one?)

Sure, we should keep these in mind for D, but let's not bog down the C
standardization process.  They just ain't C.

The opinions expressed above are mine.
