It doesn't. From what I see, the signal to noise ratio of lint is
completely inacceptable and for that very reason, uglifying the code
with questionable constructs is not acceptable. Even worse, changing
code for undefined/misdefined behavior of K&R (!) is simply wrong.
ISO C90 is now 22 years old. Traditional C is irrelevant.
