 * around forever - compiler support often requires special flags e.g
 * gcc requires the -fms-extensions flag (no wonder the language and compilers have
 * not really progressed in 30 years). As portability is a key requirement
 * we unfortunately won't use this useful feature in case we get a compiler that
 * won't support it even with special flags.
