I've seen people arguing exactly your joke, seriously, in the past. They
tended to be BSD people.
Some also argued apparently seriously that malloc() and dynamic memory
allocation in general was unacceptably inefficient. They preferred to
statically size *everything* and recompile when needed. This was
apparently more efficient, in some world...

Actually, yes, I'm with them on this one. Oh no, I should stop I think.
