This is a good feature, but it's not required by the ANSI spec.  If
something fails the CLOCC test suite, be sure to actually check the
spec to make sure that what the suite expects is actually required --
in this case, that's not really a problem, because signaling an error
is pretty obviously the right thing to do, but sometimes that suite
requires things that are in no way required by ANSI.
