It's fortunate that ANSI C is saying *something* about the subject, so
that vendors know what they must do and implementors know what they can
count on.
I don't particular care *what* they say; just about anything will work
without too much pain, I don't ever pass "longjmp" a second argument of
0 anyway, and if something that's not ideal in the technical sense is
necessary to get consensus, I can live with it.
