#ifdef OFFTOPIC

;-)

It's amazing how many private replies I got pointing out my mistake
yesterday, so I investigated why I arrived at my (incorrect) conclusion:

In the US, Janis as in "Janis Joplin" is a female name, while in Latvia,
which is much closer to where I am living, it is a rather common male
name.

See < http://www2.sonex.lt/wmoc2001/cgi/osquery.dll?page=plist&country=LAT >
for some examples. ("M" classes are "male", "W" means female.)

#endif

Sorry again,
Gerald

As compiler writers, we are accustomed to interrogate the principles
behind the languages we use.

Therefore, the fact that one *has* to indicate gender with the third
person singular pronoun should not be a cause for excuses, but for a
flame-fest.
