I'm agreed. I was persuaded by the argument that the change is not likely to
affect real code; I looked prety hard and found just one example of real code that
would be affected, in an obsolete version of a GNU utility that did something
like "&x.tm_nsec".
I think that if a push is made to change POSIX, the change would be accepted.
