- What insane asylum added digraphs to the existing trigraph mess, and
- also said that the "difficult" characters have to exist anyway? What's

-
- What fool made these identifiers ("or", "ne", ...) reserved? "If you
- want PL/I ..." and all that. (Designing a language from scratch, I
- would have used "and", "or", et cetera. But C didn't, but now we have
