And having done so, you might then find that there is a language that
does almost everything you want, could do everything you want with
*only small changes*, and is already better than anything else around.
Can you blame people for then trying to get these minor changes done?
I am not talking about anything like a PL/1 syndrome, because I like C
for its simplicity, and I'd much rather do some work than have the
language bloated, but there are a couple of minor changes that would
greatly improve the utility of C in the numerical field.

Face it, C is just to damn *_GOOD_* for you systems guys to keep it
all to yourselves... :-)
