Well, that's the point, isn't it. I tend to agree with you (and I'd use
Modula-3 or Concurrent Euclid or whatever if I could get a good compiler
with good runtime). But there are always people who want to fix C (hell,
I'm one of them sometimes :->... mainly because I like the look of the
language... it's purty... but not like that) and I'd like to find out
what it is they want to do.

Short of creating a new language!

(that's one of the reasons I created alt.lang.cfutures in the first place)
