    I think you were misled by sleazy advertising; as far as I know, this was
    never intended or even seriously considered.

I am beginning to think that I was indeed. Never too late... ;-}. Sorry for
all the disturbance caused on this particular issue.

    Claims to the contrary should be justified with references, please.

You must be kidding! Justifying claims with references? in this discussion? ;-}

Please, pleaaase, I have not made an issue of this near and far business,
I have been so busy just sticking to signed and volatile...

Consider it buried under all the egg I got on my face because of it? Let's
have a deal, everybody stop mentioning near and far and I won't bother
discussing trigraphs? :-} :->.
