I think people should look at the Microsoft Java extensions carefully before
casually using this as an example of unwarranted extensions. In fact they
made perfectly reasonable sense to me. There is nothing inherently bad about
something being an extension. GNU C has lots of valuable non-standard
extensions (nested functions being one of the most clear examples).
