Good idea. There's no reason for me to scratch my head puzzling over a piece
code which doesn't work when it's the compiler's fault.
I have enough trouble tracking down MY bugs without having to deal with
Borland/Microsoft/Symantec's bugs as well. Especially if someone else out
in net-land has already figured out the problem.
