Are we really supposed to dispute about nothing? Why are you that
battlesome? Man, I could define whatever I want (#define strcmp(x,y) _
(x)). ngettext is a function from libintl.h. So is gettext. _ is a
convenience macro for gettext and is traditionally written without a
space between the open bracket and the function name. I'm not willing to
dispute with you about K&R on this mailing list. Do you want to cook my
goose? Are you trying to affront me?
