I hope not, but it's quite possible: the core test is *VERY*
old code, as is the heritage of xts5 (although the test itself
is somewhat newer). I believe we'll find there are still
code constructs using pre-ANSI/ISO C in both. I know xts5 doesn't
have "real" prototypes because the X team was afraid adopting
this would shut the code out of some platforms (I've gotten the
go-ahead to submit patches in this area if any are needed).
I don't know where various introductions intersect and where
we'll run into problems, if any. But it is possible there
will be some.
