I always wanted VAX Bliss to add a WFIKPCH linkage so I could write
device drivers fully in Bliss. The obvious response was that there
was insufficient market demand, and that is for a language where the
entire user base was on the same operating system.
To suggest similar special handling for Windows 95 while Microsoft
predicts the merger of Windows 95 (particularly the IO portions)
into Windows NT seems to have equal lack of commercial appeal.
