I'll let some fortran freak rise and show how to abuse blank common. In
addition, some low level routines? Does this mean C is not sufficient for
itself? And how big do you make a stack for stack based languages? The only
difference is whether you securely implement it out of sight and out of
mind, or make it big as life and twice as natural?
