- An extension.

- When Dan Pop corrects you, it's best to look through a copy of the standard,
- probably with NA 1 and TC 1 for cross-references, and check against the
- reference material in K&R.
-
- If he disagrees with the standard, he's *probably* wrong, but it could be a
- typo in your copy. If he disagrees with K&R, the chances are that you've
- found one of the four or so errors in K&R.
-
- I have seen Dan be flat out wrong. Once. And it was obviously not a
- misunderstanding, just typing before thinking. We all do that occasionally,
- and let slip things we shouldn't.
