Is anyone familiar with Plan 9?  I thought that I read some where that
they used a different version/standand of C.  It was suppose to
address some common cencerns with C and I guess be more tailored to
how Plan 9 is structured.  Is this true or is my mind going?  If so,
how does it compare to ANSI C.
