	Rather than cluttering the compiler with more crap than this, write an
	optimizing compiler that doesn't need register declarations but can find
	out for itself what variables are best put in registers.
	
	If you want to make the language's level higher by doing something to
	register variables, remove them from the language instead of giving them
	'pseudo-auto' status.
	
	Or did I mis some implicit `:-)' in your article?

UNCLE! As for those Hazletine terminals, hook them all up to machines
where sizeof(int) != sizeof(any *0)!!!
