What’s wrong with

  #define var auto
  #define function void

? ;-)

It follows tradition (https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd...)

Also, some compilers will accept 'foto' + i, interpreting 'foto' as a hex constant 0x666F746F.

Similarly, 'bigImage' may be interpreted as a 64-bit literal.
