In the past we've encouraged people who are writing C-code additions
to discuss on -hackers.  I'm not sure that -general is a better place
for that; what fraction of -general readers do you think are interested
or qualified to help?

I recall seeing similar questions lately on -novice, where they
*surely* seem out of place.  If we've scared people away from -hackers
to the extent that they post C-code-hacking questions on -novice,
I think there's something wrong...
