I can't think of a reason in 2001. I used to use a compiler that was
very picky about the distinction between "" and <>. It would only
look in the compiler installation directories for <> files, but it
would look in the user-specified search path for "" files. Thus, I
get nervous when I see non-system-supplied includes in <>. But it has
been some years since I have encountered such a problem, so that
doesn't seem like a reason to stick with "".
Consistency, on the other hand, ... :)
