Yeah, thanks.

That's reasonable. You could kinda "compress" this, however - full description on first occurrence and a brief one later on. This is a common practice AFAICT:

--> "With 2.070 and prior versions, compiling this works just fine. In 2.071 it's deprecated (meaning you will get a warning now and compilation error with some later version of the compiler)"

> With 2.070, this compiled just fine. However, printf is supposed to be a private symbol of module ex2_a. With 2.071 and above, this will trigger a deprecation warning. In the future, the code will trigger an error.

Anyway, not a big deal. Sorry if I've gone too far with nitpicking :) Thanks for the article!
