[A83] Re: CRT (was SDCC port)
They 'key' and I stress 'key' problem with that is compatibility.
Either you keep a bad version of a library call and allow
compatibility or you change it and make everyone change their
programs.
Since this isn't a shell, there's no set grouping for each library
really.
This 'could' be avoided but would be a big headache if using
libraries in that manner.
