The language standard has a problem with it.

I could write a program that works if the hostname of the machine
it's running on is "kvetch", and fails randomly if it isn't.
The program would work just fine on my system, and I could make
the same argument you're making.

Yes, it is.

If you post code in public, it will be critiqued. If you don't want it
critiqued, don't post it.
I am not critiquing it for "how pretty one identifier is compared to
another". If you think I am, then you still don't understand what I'm
telling you.
We are critiquing your code for what it is: non-portable code whose
behavior is undefined, for reasons clearly stated in the C standard.
And in case it's not clear *we're trying to help you*. Pointing out
problems in your code is not a personal attack.
If you want to write non-portable code, you can do so. Often there
are very good reasons for doing so (but not in this case, as far as I
can tell). What I recommend is that you should be *aware* of why and
how your code is non-portable, so you can make an informed decision.
