| Indeed, in my opinion too *is* a mess!
|
| Interestingly, the 1995 draft even *prescribed* using memcmp and wmemcmp: a nice
| task for the historian would be reconstructing *why* that section was removed.
That section was certainly removed for some reason -- it takes
committee vote to remove or add something to the working paper.
| Personally, barring evidence to the contrary, I'm still convinced that whoever
| wrote the compare entry in Table 37 *at least* didn't want to rule out using
| memcmp and wmemcmp (on signed char platforms).
Wonderful.
