Feels like this thing should require an extra flag in case of gcc in this day and age, or a separate compile-time defined variable, specifically for cases where you don't want to require the flag.

To be fair, the biggest footguns are the trigraphs, and now that I tested those do require a flag in gcc.

The digraphs are just hard to search, never used operator symbols.
