- Subject: Slightly ambiguous wording in cppopts.texi
Line 459 of doc/cppopts.texi is a standalone paragraph,
Use of these options is discouraged.
but there's no real way to know which options the sentence is referring to.
Presumably some of the preceeding ones, but there is no formatting hint
to tell the reader how far back to draw the "line of discouragement,"
if you follow my meaning.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
