WRONG.

foo() { FILE *wizard; ftell (wizard); } 

My contribution to the discussion - Real UNIX Wizards(TM) recite
source code, including line number and file name.  Frequently they
will tell you what they were thinking when they wrote the code.

And if they didn't write the code themselves, they know who did
and have their phone number and email address.
