Be interesting to see the results of a grep on a large software

Of all the hits I know about, none of them were an accident.
You're forgetting something: GNU/Linux distros are built with gcc,
and everyone is now using 3.x. So there can't be buildable programs
that depend on behavior gcc doesn't support.
? The claim was made that we cannot change it now, as it would break
the non-portable code that gcc now compiles. I said, hogwash, linux
doesn't have any such code, someone else did the grep, and sure
enough, there is no such code, so that cannot be a reason why we
cannot remove support for \ sp nl.
What did you think Andrew's point was? Maybe I entirely misread it?
