Well, this seems to be a slippery slope argument; essentially you are
saying that it is OK to write erroneous code as long as your compiler
"does the right thing". That seems to me to be a bad precedent; we want
to make as easy as possible for people to write code that is portable
and depends on compiler support only in well-defined ways. RM 1.1.3(3
and 6) allow programs to be rejected, but those are clearly indicated
problems; if a compiler does the "wrong" thing with erroneous code,
there is not going to be any indication to the developer.
Randy.
