some well known stupidness in c99

[Ian Collins]

In the C90 standard,
the bitwise operators were described as returning values.

I didn't realise the C90 standard was "post '99"...

While they weren't added to the Fortran standard until Fortran 95,
functions for doing bitwise operation were a popular non-standard
extension for many years before. MOD is also a function in Fortran,
not an operator like in C.

On the other hand exponentiation is an operator in Fortran and
a function in C.

the bitwise operators were described as returning values.

And C99 also described the unary & operator as returning a value. They
were cleaned up for C11.

It sounds like you don't do any work with C or C++.

C was targeted for being used in various
unix systems that have different HW constraints.

Of course, if the compiler or interpreter has
to sip through the source only once to produce
the results, then the preprocessor part in C
that even allows a #deine line to be really long
is kind of pain in the heap.
