Yes, I <did> intend that--hopefully it wasn't <too> unclear, but
undoubtedly wise to comment/amplify...

I was, admittedly, making an implicit assumption that there really are
few pre-F77 compilers around, which is, not <necessarily> globally true,
but for a new language on what was specified to be for "Wintel/Lintel"
only platforms figured that wouldn't be a stretch.
