Of course. But it is behavior deserving of praise. Almost nobody
takes pride in their work anymore. I also build all of my code with
"-Wall" when using GCC (enable all warnings, even the useless ones) and
work until they are ALL gone.
People have laughed at me for that...but then I get paid to clean up
their messes. ;)
