How about a brief description of C syntax? More specifically, a) list of
reserved words, operators, backslash escape sequences, and so on, and b)
explanation of casts, side effects and other C features. This *could* be
useful even for those who already know some basics of C programming (have
you seen any tutorial book about C that tells that you can pass function
as an argument to be called in another function (like qsort)?). The GCC
docs lists the GNU C extensions, but that's everything about syntax I
have found in the DJGPP docs.
