This proves DJ's point about just making them point; however it says
nothing about that va_list issue. Try to read few paragraphs further,
where is the info about reserved identifiers in various namespaces, maybe
you'll be able to dig out something useful there.

That's exactly the point I want to prove. Making that kind of code 'just work'
does not minimize FAQs, it just replaces one FAQs with others.
