No, but it is a nice "won't happen integer" due to its bit pattern.  Of 
course, I'd rather initialize integers with something like 5a5a5a5a hex :-)

My reading of Joseph Myers' comment is that the C Standard hadn't made 
up its mind at that time ...

Da funny thing is that I tried to teach the RTL complex expanders to use 
R*C in the past ( ~ 2001) under the -funsafe-math-optimizations regime, 
and now it might turn out to be standard conforming C ? HAHAHAHAHA
