I do think I owe quite a bit to the university professor who took the scientific 
programming course, for instructing us to compile with

     gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall

Not as comprehensive as -Werror etc., but still a good way to be started off in 
programming life.  It's meant that I've always subsequently appreciated the 
existence and value of language standards.

And it's generated much amusement among academic colleagues: "Finally, there is 
such a virtuous saint among us!" or words to that effect :-P
