   Well sure there are features that are implementation dependent, like the
   assembler statement feature, but that is true of any language

It's better documented than some languages, but much less well documented
than even C89.  :)

   well documented, but would be interested in knowing.

(Also, at least some of the documentation is incorrect.)
