two things:  I think the terms of getting and commenting to the ANSI spec
make it difficult for most people; and I don't believe that presenting
objections here in comp.lang.c constitutes "whining".  I'm glad that
somebody (Doug, et al) is paying attention to the discussions here.
And I hope that the whiners do *not* keep quiet.
