As several people have noted, my involvement with gcc is unprofessional;
appparently in every sense of the word. If my use of the word "excremental"
caused offence, I am sorry. Let me just restate it that it is my opinion that
it is unprofessional fortran style to jump into IF blocks. Doubtless the
original author is as much a software professional as me.... That said, you
will note that I submitted it as PR because I thought that it should be fixed.
