The "well defined semantics" are not god-given axioms, or to rephrase it, because something is 'thus' in C does not mean that it must also be 'thus' in any other programming language. For something to be in a programming language, it needs to be justified on its own terms rather than only using precedent as its rationale to exist. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia skype: derek.j.parnell
