Thanks warp and frederick. This wiki page still keeps me wondering when
these trigraphs were introduced. Must be before the 1994 digraphs (which
is indeed long after my sort of formal training in C).
I could not find them with google. searching for ??) did not give any
result. Any of the google wizards know what I should have asked? (Apart
from trigraph, because that was the term I didn't know, otherwise I
would not be looking)
