invoking outright undefined behavior, except for character types and
common initial sequences.

And yet it could be done in C90. And if it can be done by the

Yes. It wasn't easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. I am glad to report
that it performs fully according to spec - I will never have to buy
another razor blade.
