Why on earth should he? Who ever claimed such an environment exists, or 
isn't silly? It's legal in C for such an environment to exist, that's 
all. If someone is choosing to write code which is portable to all 
possible legal C implementations, they have to allow for it. If they 
only need to make their code portable to all environments which there is 
the slightest predictable possibility of ever coming across, they can 
ignore it.
