Old habit (I would call it purist's coding).  Some programmers have been
around longer than C (some even before B, not me of course ;-).  You tend
to write in the style you grew up with (and the system you were on).  For
alot of us, this was before unix moved from the PDP-7 to the PDP-11 so we
used what we had until Bell V6 came along.
