So then clearly, since it means anything, we can change gcc to accept

Mike, you wrote "GNU C", not "ISO C". There's no spec for the former.
He said we can do anything, this is untrue. I rail against the
casual use of the word because it misleads others into believing it,
and then proposing patches that do anything they want, and yet make
gcc worse. I realize there that we have no documentation person that
writes down everything religiously and that from time to time, people
that should write documentation, don't. I'm just as guilty (or more
so) as everyone else. Realize, some consider that just a simple
documentation bug, not an opportunity to go messing with a fine
compiler.
