Does anyone think there is anything else to this that this guy's utter  
cluelessness to what "unnamed and anonymous structs and unions" actually  
are? It sure sounds to me like he's just going off on the name of the  
features without even the slightest idea about what the features actually  
are. Why else would he put that in the same pot as binary only modules? I  
sure can't see any *actual* connection here.
