Perhaps a language barrier issue?  Using a less-common term like
"hallowed" may be throwing Hei off the mark?

"Hallowed" means "enshrined" or "blessed"; in other words, the standard
has adopted the behavior as part of the standard.  Therefore GCC will
definitely not abandon it.

Hei; it would help us greatly if you could configure your mail software
to include some sort of quoting to the original text when you reply to
email.  Your responses and the text you are replying to look exactly the
same and it's very confusing.

Cheers!
