10:     Sorry, but that's too useful.
 9:     Dammit, little-endian systems *are* more consistent!
 8:     I'm on the committee and I *still* don't know what the hell
        #pragma is for.
 7:     Well, it's an excellent idea, but it would make the compilers too
        hard to write.
 6:     Them bats is smart; they use radar.
 5:     All right, who's the wiseguy who stuck this trigraph stuff in here?
 4:     How many times do we have to tell you, "No prior art!"
 3:     Ha, ha, I can't believe they're actually going to adopt this sucker.
 2:     Thank you for your generous donation, Mr. Wirth.
