The real problem is not that is doesn't reliably exist, it's that it doesn't
have a well defined interface. An optional annex could solve this. There
would need to be a required test to determine whether or not it was present,
and a well defined interface to use if it were. Then each program could
decide what to do if it were or were not present. As it is... one MUST
depend on idiosyncratic behavior which is non-portable. And I *do* want to
write portable applications, to the extent possible, given the trade-offs
necessary.
