This have been discussed in -standards@ and have been settled for more than 1 month, there were two developers asked me after the commit but nobody asked for a revert (so far), so I don't think it's general consensus that this change should not be part of FreeBSD. Being undocumented means we do not encourage its use. I think there is good reason to add this extension for compatibility reasons, plus it does not break anything. So did I missed some discussion about why it's a bad move? Cheers, --=20 Xin LI http://www.delphij.net
