Feh.  Me, what I'll do is what I always do when someone promulgates a
stupid standard: ignore it.  I'll proceed to use "or" as an identifier
whenever it seems to be the appropriate name.  I'll use ??= in strings
when it seems appropriate.  And if someone has problems porting my code
because of this, that's too bad, but I refuse to cripple myself because
others insist on crippling themselves.  At least this time, a new
header is required before the silliness becomes programmer-visible.
