   While I appreciate the zing, I do have to opine for the record that K&R   
   function definitions really are something best left buried with K&R C.   
   I'm willing to write in ANSI C for the sake of whatever random weirdo   
   wants to try building something of mine on an old proprietary *nix, but   
   man I am *not* going any farther back than that.
