Standards are for when there are too many cooks in the kitchen. By
their very nature they have to compromise.
Give me the work of a standards committee before the the work of a
single idiot; but most of all give me the work of a brilliant expert
before that of the committee. And for God's sake, please don't turn
my expert into an idiot by throwing him onto a committee!

but i don't use putchar() or some other recalcitrant macro.
the proof is in the pudding.
