Paul already responded to this, but I don't think he caught the fact
that Stephen was confused by the triple negative:

>> I DON'T think I've seen a C program in the last 8 years which DOES NOT
>> use any language features EXCEPT those found in K&R I!

What he is saying (and I think this is what he meant, too) is that each
of the C programs he has seen in the last 8 years has used some feature
not found in K&R I.
