  In a recent message (this morning, too early to be typing news in), I
made a glaring error.  I said that C couldn't tell the type of functions,
which of course isn't true if the function is a) declared or b) seen by
compiler before it is used.

  What I actually MEANT to say (as I hope was clear from the context),
was that C couldn't know the types of function PARAMETERS in a function
call.

  Just wanted to forestall any flames.
