  I've never seen SAS/C but I've heard it's pretty picky.

  I must admit, though, that I really like the idea of extremely picky
compilers.  They keep people "honest".  I've spent a significant
amount of time fixing other peoples' buggy code over the years...too
many people approach programming with the "I gotta show everyone how
clever I am" mindset, and it makes for nothing but headaches.

  And don't even get me started on "cleverness" in makefiles.  *shudder*
