Funny, but actually I was wondering if there is any subtle issue in the
standards of the C language that makes it somehow hard to implement.
For example I've met a few times weird implementations of libraries and
frameworks dictated by broken standards: once they are in, they can never
be removed due to backward compatibility. I thought that Charles (that also
implemented the Limbo compiler) might have referenced these kind of issues
in his pun.
