*Sigh*...

	Chris Torek says:

	    ...writing

		struct { int i, j, k; } foo = { 1, 2, 3 };

		main () { printf ("%d %d %d\n", foo); }

	    is just plain illegal.
    
	This code is NOT illegal, nor is it illegal to pass unions.

It is *syntactically* correct.  It is *semantically* wrong.  That,
as far as I am concerned, makes it illegal.  I also consider passing
0 instead of (type *)0 as a paramter to be illegal.  Perhaps "bogus"
is a better word.
