+
+These alternative spellings are implemented as a
+group of macro constants, and are made available
+by including the header file @file{<iso646.h>}.
+They were added because a concern that the standard
+names are difficult to type on some keyboard-layouts.
+
+Use of these alternative tokens are discouraged,
+they lessen the readability of your code. If it is
+difficult to type some characters without yout
+keyboard-layout, it is better to change keyboard-layout.
