The wonders of C

[sde at Mitre-Bedford]

Actually, there are those of who, disliking both the "="/"==" closeness
and the "!="/"|=" closeness, use "EQ" for "==" and "NE" for "!=", which
C allows by means of #define.

P.S. I do, however, agree that it was ergonomically foolish to count
relative uses of assignment vs. comparison to come up with =/== instead
of :=/=. How many hours of debug time (and how many debug keystrokes)
does it take, after all, to use up the marginal saving of some keystrokes in
initial entry?
