Who says there's no humor left in programming?

Given the following code:

	struct S {
		struct { int foobar; };
	};

Compiling with g++ 2.3.3, I get the message:

test14.C:2: warning: un-usable class ignored (anonymous classes and unions are useless)

I find the assertion that anonymous unions are "useless" most humorous.

This is either a political statement about Bjarne Stroustrup's decision to
include this particular feature in the language, or else it is a profound
statement about the ignorance of the g++ maintainers.

Either way, it's pretty funny.
