| I'll trade for a fix for a problem with void functions and the ?: operator.

| void f3(which)
| {
|     extern void f1(),f2();
|     which?f1():f2();
| }
| cc(1) gives an "incompatible types" error.
+---------------

That's not a bug, it's a feature.  Literally.

Before you start complaining, consider that the intent of functions returning
(void) is that of:

#define procedure void

procedure f1(x, y) {
...
}
