    O.K. Now I'm confused. Do you mean that the compiler brazenly
    ignores the language standard in the face of flagrant violations
    because it wants to kiss the butt of the programmer who pays it?
    Or do you mean that the compiler looks for flakey programs and
    flames them to the ground in order to prove how macho it is? ;-)
