Sure, it's easy to use. But that isn't the job of standardization bodies, or the right test to use on something as low level as this. It's harder to get right

Sure, it's easy to use. But that isn't the job of standardization bodies, or the right test to use on something as low level as this. It's harder to get right, but it is exactly these sort of failures in standardization that cause the most global pain, because they wend their way through everything.

And they were implemented that way because it was the simplest most straight-forward way (I'll admit I'm just guessing now). Were they part of K&R C?
