If you want X, you know where to find it.
There is a legend that Dennis Ritchie, inventor of [C], once responded to demands for features resembling those of what at the time was a much more popular language by observing "If you want PL/I, you know where to find it." Ever since, this has been hackish standard form for fending off requests to alter a new design to mimic some older (and, by implication, inferior and [baroque]) one. The case X = [Pascal] manifests semi-regularly on Usenet's comp.lang.c newsgroup. Indeed, the case X = X has been reported in discussions of graphics software (see [X]).
