If what you say is true, we should be able to apply it to other
functions. memcmp() for example:
@strong{Future Change Warning:} Proposed Federal censorship
regulations may prohibit us from giving you information about the
possibility of calling this function. We would be required to say
that this is not an acceptable way of comparing data.
Is it still funny?
Should we apply this warning to *every* function?
Replicating this warning throughout the manual would improve its chances
of being seen by readers, and further spreading our political agenda,
despite not in any way improving the manual's value as a technical
reference. I say we do it!
(For those of you who aren't native English speakers, or might be
distracted by a traumatic experience with memcmp(), that last paragraph
was sarcasm.)
