I blame ANSI X3J11 for introducing "const" and "volatile" and attempting to introduce "noalias" and being lazy about linker technology so that compiler writers didn't have to do as much work, shoving the job off on compiler users (after all, compiler writers outnumber compiler users, right?), instead of biting the bullet and defining sized types.
