     Well, that explains C then:

          #include <stdio.h>
          ...
             int SpecialCaseWhenZero;
          ...
             SpecialCaseWhenZero=0;
          ...
             if (SpecialCaseWhenZero)
                /* does not print so no friend for Roedy */
                printf("Hey, Roedy!");
