i'd forgotten about it being in newspeak, but given that it was currie
it might well have worked.  poor old RSRE.  otherwise, attempts to
build it into languages turned up periodically during the 70s, but i
think it ended up being more trouble than it was worth, in the `least
of your worries' sense of that's not what usually causes the failures.
(in my case, it's usually ignorance or stupidity.) just to prove me
wrong, it's probably somewhere in perl.
