And its absence certainly indicates unC95ness.

The compiler I use here on my desktop system is non-C95. And a quick
check through the compilers on my legacy system (the MS-Junk box) shows
that only a couple of them have that header and therefore stand any
chance of being C95-conforming. The other half-dozen or so do not.
