That's what comments are > *for*. It might be handy for a language to permit a relatively simple annotation such as (sic) to an expression or statement, the point being to alert the reader that the slightly odd-looking code was probably intended. The compiler would not normally produce warnings for such expressions but could be asked to show suppressed warnings (indeed, it would be helpful for it to show only suppressed warnings) so one could check them every now and then. In C, I suppose a compiler could take such action on seeing /* sic */. <snip> -- Ben.
