+(interspersed with the program's output). One might think that simply changing
+the gets() to fgets() (with stdin) would work but it did not because `fgets()`
+stores the newline and `gets()` does not. The code was relying on not having
+this newline. With `fgets()` the code `if(A(Y)) puts(Y);` ended up printing an
+extra line which made the generation of some files (like `adhead.c`) fail to
+compile. Why? There was a blank line after a `\` at the end of the first line of
+a macro definition!  Thus the code now first trims off the last character of the
+buffer read to get the same correct functionality but in a safe way and
+non obnoxious way.

-return `-1` on EOF or error but rather `EOF`. However `EOF` is not required to be
-`-1` but merely an int < 0 and this program assumed that `getc()` will return
-`-1` on EOF or error, not `EOF`. On systems where `EOF != -1` it could result in
-an infinite loop (for the same reason one should not use `EOF` for the `getopt()`
-functions as they return `-1` when all options are parsed (for details on the
-definition of `EOF` see `7.21 Input/output<stdio.h>` subsection 1 of the

-caused both `warning: illegal character encoding in string literal` and `error:
-source file is not valid UTF-8`. But since `EOF` is simply an int < 0 and making
-the loop condition check that the return value is >= 0 does not cause a
