Why? Does gcc have an option to do trigraph translation, and ONLY trigraph translation, so that you can import a "portable character set" program into your local character set so you don't have to waste the time preprocessing trigraphs over and over again? If so, why is it part of gcc? Is it really true that the Free Software Foundation is a secret conspiracy by memory manufacturers?
