A neat idea...

Even before I had heard of Java, I thought about going through
Kernighan & Ritchie and hilighting every occurence of the word
"implementation-dependent".  I was most inspired to do it when I
discovered a "bug" that caused

	printf("%c%c%c", getchar(), getchar(), getchar());

to print "ABC" when compiled by gcc and "CBA" when compiled by
Borland.  (I typed ABC<Return><EOF> as input to both programs.)
