I think it's been childish for a while.. for example, in objective C you can
use #import instead of #include, and it makes sure that the same file isn't
included multiple times for you.. but someone at gnu has a grudge against
it.. every time it see's #import you get an 8 or 9 line warning stating how
you're a bozo if you want the compiler to do your work for you... except if
you want it to generate you some assembly language from a higher level
language, I guess...

Thankfully you can turn that particular "feature" off. Did someone make the
gnu group the official programming language police when I wasn't looking or
something?
