How come C is the only language from the 1970s that you get upset at my 
pointing out technology-induced limitations? When someone asked why the C 
standard limited global names to six characters and I said it was because of 
FORTRAN-based linkers, you didn't seem to mind. You don't seem to object 
when people make fun of COBOL's wordiness.
