- If the implementation comes with documentation saying that, in order to
- invoke a conforming implementation, you have to type
- c89 [source file names] -lm -lstring -lbool -lgoto
- then that's what you type. If the documentation doesn't say what you
- have to type, ask your vendor for a refund.

- If you're using implementation extensions, then friendly implementors
- will tell you how to use the extensions too. Surely the standard can't
- specify how to use extensions.
