- ....
- An excellent idea.  But wouldn't it be better if it gave the error
- message at compile time (with a line number so you could find and
- correct it easily)?  Say:
- 
- 	-Dgets='DONT_USE_GETS!'
- 
- (The quotes are for Unix.)

(The quote-marks gain nothing in anie shell, not even "csh".)  It would
be nicer if "gets" took a length, too.  It is, after all, quite nice to
hav all theze functions that work on "stdin" with no need to write it.
