The freedom to redefine the language with macros is also the freedom to
rotate your vocabulary out of the public domain, right into the twilight
zone. Personally, I view people who alter C to suit their personal
tastes as certainly misguided and probably perverted. Any standard is
better than none (stick that in your fortunes file and remember it); I'd
rather live with C than "improve" it unilaterally.
Sorry for the outburst, but I feel the urge to counter the previous
article, which seemed to espouse such gimmickry as a good idea.
