Well, my suspicion is that some C compilers simply refuse to compile
the construct, as they're entitled to do. I vaguely recall that
happening in the past. No big deal of course.
You're right about the word "regression": I should have called it a "warning"
or "compile-time issue" or something like that, since it's not a run-time
problem on all practical porting hosts.
