First, thanks to Rex, et al. for the helpful explanations about the
various standards committees.

I hesitate to ask such a ethnocentric question after all of the careful
international discussion, but:

If the ISO-646 trigraphs become incorporated in the ANSI X3J11 specification,
will I (as a programmer in the US) have to be careful not to put, for example,

	puts("Is this a trigraph??");

in my programs?
