This compiler flag enforces that that people either mark variables
static or use an external declarations for the variable, similar to how
-Wmissing-prototypes works for functions.
Due to the fact that Yacc/Lex generate code that cannot trivially be
changed to not warn because of this (lots of yy* variables), add a
NO_WMISSING_VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS that can be used to turn off this
specific compiler warning.

again. This brings back the behaviour of expr in FreeBSD-4, which had been
reverted due to an assumed incompatbility with POSIX.1 for FreeBSD-5.
This issue has been discussed in the freebsd-standards list, and the
consensus was, that POSIX.1 is in fact not violated by this extension,
since it affects only cases of POSIX undefined behaviour (overflow of
signed long).
Other operating systems did upgrade their versions of expr to support
64bit range, after it had been initially brought to FreeBSD. They have
used it for a decade without problems, meanwhile.
The -e option is retained, but it will only select less strict checking
of numeric parameters (leading white-space, leading "+" are allowed and
skipped, an empty string is considered to represent 0 in numeric context.)
The call of check_utility_compat() as a means of establishing backwards
compatibility with FreeBSD-4 is considered obsolete, but preserved in
this commit. It is expected to be removed in a later revision of this
file.

The three examples are better done using sh(1) itself these days.
The example

getopt() to eat the (non-existent) options.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
comparisions have been made as string comparisions, even in cases
where both operands clearly qualified as integers.
The fix is to make the parser properly analyzing whether an operand is
a valid integer or not.
