Heh. Lest that came across as harsh... sorry. Didn't mean to. It was
just such a nice, ranty kind of morning that I couldn't resist.
Meanwhile, I've been meaning to follow up on something regarding using +
for branching. Namely, it's a good idea to put the + on both block
instructions, e.g. while+ ending with endwhile+.
It's not _really_ necessary, but what happens is that it modifies the
"test and branch" part of the block. Like, "while a<b" performs the test
and branch, and "endwhile" just ends the block. On the flip side,
"repeat" does nothing while "until a<b" performs the test and branch.
Thus
repeat+
...
until a<b
won't do anything, while
repeat
...
until+ a<b
will. So if you can keep track of that then there's no problem using +
where appropriate. Otherwise, it's easiest to just match it at the start
and end.
