In that case, YOU CAN'T USE GNU MP!!!  What part of this don't you get?

Let me be clear.  First off, unlike you, I actually WRITE code instead of
trying to tell other people how and never doing anything.  Secondly, my
code _works._  Third, nobody who has any business messing with a
compiler or translator for a commercial programming language will have
any difficulty dealing with it.  If that isn't good enough, have fun.
If what you want is for people who can hardly manage to program in BASIC
to be able to read and understand C, I'm not your man; I don't write
novels with code interspersed, and I don't write C that looks like pascal
with braces.

Oh, and by the way, I'm right.  You should read up on the GNU coding specs,
because if you don't use them, you can't be GNU:)
