Fast forward to 2008. In making the decision it made, the standards
board decided that a relatively small high tech industry of fast
computation is more important than boring applications written by
programmers who expected the effect of p++ to be atomic, because
military and corporate needs trump those of skilled labor and small
business in America. In fact, to preserve itself, this Beast invaded
Iraq in 2003.
Are you claiming that every single pre-ANSI C compiler implemented pre-
