Dennis Ritchie, inventor of {C}, once responded to demands for
features resembling those of what at the time was a much more
popular language by observing "If you want PL/I, you know where to
find it." Ever since, this has been hackish standard form for
fending off requests to alter a new design to mimic some older

{Pascal} manifests semi-regularly on USENET's comp.lang.c
newsgroup. Indeed, the case X = X has been reported in
discussions of graphics software (see {X}).
