i'll put it on the list ....
actually, i did my time in the dusty decks. don't think i care for
a reprise. in that case we had .c4 and .f4, which were c and fortran
decorated with m4 macros. basically, it allowed us to extend type
checking into fortran.
the system was diaboliclly brilliant. it was just enough to keep
and old program going, yet not enough to aliviate the suffering
of its maintainers.
