Sorry, I must have misread it (I plead innocent on the grounds that at
time of writing I was wrestling with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 - there are
days where I feel like smashing that emergency cabinet and getting that
axe out and dismembering all the Microsoft CDs into tiny bits). I don't
think we should drop the -ansi option for compatibility reasons, but
rather introduce -iso as an aliased flag. Then everyone's happy, yes?

Ah, I most definitely did not intend to imply that.
