How awesome would it be if system headers could expose a nonstd extension IFF a configure script properly checked for it? :-)
@laurentbercot The key idea was restricting access to extensions to build systems that test for avail., not assume it (w/ or w/out request).

@laurentbercot Your "IFF" with FTM's is already possible, but does nothing to incentivize portability. -
@RichFelker I want to incentivize portability without knowing better than you what's good for you. Always remember we're the good guys. -
@laurentbercot It's just hypothetical anyway since there's no way to do this. -
@RichFelker Sure, but if there were such a way, I'd be opposed to it.

@RichFelker As much as I hate nonportable software, I strongly believe a system should not try to be the portability police. Not its place.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
