Alright, yes, they share a property and the syntax. I forgot we were in a programming courthouse.

In the real world, treating their semantics the same misleads newbies, and leads to bugs.

Yeah, who would do such a thing! Especially in a piece of code written for the International Obfuscated C Code Contest! I demand that all code submitted for that contest be readable and unobfuscated!
