Nice try, Ralf, but it will not work. You see, Robert B Pilkingtons
are the Defenders of the Faith, their universe is neatly divided into
just two groups: believers and non-believers. And what they call logic
is their God given right to force their prejudices onto the rest of
us. Quite boring, because it is always so predictable.
Your block proposal is much more interesting, but unless something
really escaped me, which happens much too often, it is also completely
unnecessary. You can already group statements into a procedure, with
its own scope and variables if you wish. What extra benefits would you
get from your blocks that cannot be obtained with a simple procedure?
And similarly, the goto label can be placed, theoretically, anywhere
at the top level, so what's the difference? jiri
