Any comment on this?
Where to document the behavior?

BTW, this is the matching branch for pacredir:
https://github.com/eworm-de/pacredir/commits/404-header
-- 
main(a){char*c=/*    Schoene Gruesse                         */"B?IJj;MEH"
"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Best regards             my address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*    Chris            cc -ox -xc - && ./x    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
