Why no waxing eloquent for C? I haven't heard APL mentioned in years. Though 
perusing Wikipedia's APL page to refresh myself, I am amused in the context of 
this thread to read: 

"In reality, most APL compilers translated source APL to a lower level language 
such as C, leaving the machine-specific details to the lower level compiler."

Tee-hee.
