I think the GP's point was that "fluid ounce" is a measure of volume, not mass or weight. If you're measuring a liquid whose density is different from water, a fluid ounce won't weigh anywhere near an ounce. "d

Off the top of my head? Maybe you want to target a small system with a native compiler, so users of those systems don't have to cross-compile, but the standard implementation is just too big to run on those systems? (e.g. tcc) Or maybe

The trouble with a single, unstandardised implementation is that it's only available on the OSs and CPUs that the lone implementation developers choose to target. By creating a standard, and allowing multiple implementations, someone c
