It seems to me that the proposal to legitimize
a ^^ b
is of the same ilk as the proposal to legitimize unary '+'.
Both are, strictly speaking, "unnecessary;"
both serve to "fill out" the family of operators supported by C,
which may make a programmer's job easier--
there being fewer "exceptions" to remember.
If I had my wish, the standards committee would accept both proposals or accept
neither proposal. ("!(a^^b)", if you will. :-))
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who favors unary '+' and opposes "^^".
