There are lots of areas of standards where the behavior of some
operation or set of operations is undefined. I don't think that we're
generally obligated to define and fix undefined things that other OS's
happen to have; and as much as I like the option, I also don't think
it's worthwhile to make all undefined things fail obviously, to
prevent programmers from accidentally using them.
