[9fans] C is me

[Bruce Ellis]

weren't we all in love with Candice?

ok.  well i declared a string today "/??/n:", because that's
what iomangler throws at me as a prefix, at times.

guess what the bytes are.  there is an "easy" but wrong
answer.  get out your books!  i was surprised but all is well.
work around.  so i went down the pub.

watching dudesses play tennis as you sip a coldy
is better than bashing at dumb-C.

yeah, shut up - and get over it.

With the trigraph if preprocessed on a non unicode (not plan9): 
"/\n:" 

but I guess this is the "easy" answer, and you are telling that unicode
comes in the way? (and I seem to recall that I read somewhere that
the compiler suite does not handle trigraphs---but I can't find
right now where I read that).

Perhaps if you'd learned about trigraphs instead of griping about them,
you'd at least have suspected there could be a problem.  At least there
is a simple workaround.

P.S.  I think it was a mistake for the standard not to also provide a
trigraph sequence that expands to ?.  It would make automated
code generation easier.

what else should i learn, except to be surprised by them screwing with me?
