Actually, "put back" is more accurate than "added".  It has been a
"reserved for future use" keyword in C for a long time, but the ANSI
committee decided (in my opinion, correctly) that it did not seem to
have a future and thus could be deleted.  As far as I know, nobody
has ever done anything with it.
