Oh, I didn't know about digraphs at all. C++ is a really big language.
And wow, that's a well hidden footgun.
Feels like this thing should require an extra flag in case of
gccin 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.
