+ # basically the only compiler in the world that supports them in C code.
+ # All other vendors support them only in their C++ compilers, not in their
+ # ANSI C compilers. This means that it's a portability problem: every time
+ # these comments have snuck into the xscreensaver source code, I've gotten
+ # complaints about it the next day. So we turn off support for them in gcc
+ # as well to prevent them from accidentially slipping in.
