Too true.  What then, a new language based on C pulling the
yummy stuff out of limbo?  One that's not interpreted, without
a garbage collector, and no atend >:), but that has tuples, array bounds
checking, etc?  At this point should we just considering loosening up
Oberon a little and making a few additions?

I'd be willing to help so long as we fix the BCPL inherited '&'
precedence.
