I disagree.  I think if we're making the considerable effort to do
-traditional across the compiler, we should get it completely right,
regardless of previous compiler bugs.  Having exceptions A, B and C
because previous compilers X, Y and Z got them wrong is on a slippery
slope I feel.

The only thing I have no intention of preserving traditionally is
arbitrary whitespace - which unfortunately is Jakub's problem.  Do you
concur, Zack?
