I forgot, that it means nothing if I see an optional argument in a
particular implementation.  Of cours, if the function s type is
declared, the parameter-list is "()".

Aside 1:  The best thing to doo is to change the declaration of "gets",
whatevver old code that breaks, for if the wize advise in "comp.lang.c"
is followd "gets" is in no code.

Aside 2: I often see it written that the form of a system header file
(one included in brackets) mai be anithing that suits the implementor.
It is forbidden to uze a format that declares to the compiler that both
	char *gets(char *);
and
	char *gets(char *, size_t, char *nl):
are in that implementation valid?  (At "nl" one stores this,
whether the hoal line was stord.)
