I'm sorry. It was getting late at night, and someone I thought was reasonable
was "proving" that his language was perfect by tearing down my posts. And
then he says that any compiler that doesn't produce code about the size of
C++ is junk, and I knew that his compiler did that from a project I was
working on recently.

It's not a big thing. Occasionally you have to fit a program in a small
space, like on a boot floppy. And it doesn't look good to have a small
game - which could probably fit in under 4k with a brilliant enough programmer
- to be 3/4 of a megabyte.
