Are the alternate spellings (`%:' for `#', `%:%:' for `##') active even
if <iso646.h> is not included? If so, some strictly conforming ANSI C
programs will not conform to the proposed new standard. As a trivial
example, the program
#define x %:
int main() { return 0; }
is strictly conforming ANSI C, but it would not conform to the proposed
new standard. Surely it is important that existing conforming programs
not change in meaning because of the proposed revisions.
