Agreed, this is not acceptable.  If there were no possible way to
implement the feature portably, we *might* consider doing it like this.
But I think more likely it'd get rejected anyway.  When there is a
clear path to a portable solution, it's definitely not going to fly
to submit a nonportable one.
