Yeah, I've got really tired of students saying, ``gcc is broken: my program works
as long as I dont't turn on optimization.''  It would be nice to have a compiler
(or a switch on gcc) that is strictly standard conforming, yet does
`unreasonable' and `un-user-friendly' things whenever the user writes
non-conforming code (like `m = m++;').
