Leo's ANSI C Flame

[Brian T. Schellenberger]

[tried EMail; it bounced.]

Structure passing / returning / assigning and enums predate ANSI by many,
many years (I have a copy of a paper descibing those features dated
November 15, 1978), so it isn't fair to criticize compiler-writers for 
introducing these ten-year-old features without the ANSI (less than
five-year-old) prototypes.
