Er, quite. (Hides head.) I found 45 occurrences of that construct in my 
bignum library alone; 18 in my general-purpose library (surprisingly 
low, actually); and dozens more elsewhere in my codebase. I even found 8 
of them in a tiny little program I hacked together to generate random 
name pairs.

Likewise. And of course I don't really keep score. The above was 
tongue-in-cheek.

No, not really. Although C99 defines a ghastly mess, it doesn't define 
"ghastly mess"(!), so there is no referee, and that means I can make up 
my own score to suit myself. :-)
