[comp.lang.c] A new operator for "="? Get serious!

This article is not for the novice.

A true story.  Two hours ago I typed JXX in vi when I should have typed
JX so my call to a "/* VARARGS */" routine looked like:
	foo(... 0 &bp[0]->element, ... );
If we replaced the use of comma in function calls with the new keyword
"andalso" this tragic mistake would not have happened to me.

C'mon, folks.  If you can't program in C, go use Pascal or something else;
don't try to change the language.
