- Thanks to all the kind folks who sent their implementations of DOES>
- for Eforth.
-
- Now I would like a show of hands: How many people agree with me that
- the word NEXT is too important, universal, ubiquitous, etc. to be
- taken over as the terminus of a FOR...NEXT loop? I would propose
- that NEXT be reserved for its traditional purpose, and that the end
- of a FOR...NEXT loop be called one of several possibilities:
-
- ROF ( my favorite)
- ;FOR ( same # of letters as NEXT)
- >FOR ( how's this? )
-
- I realize this is not of earthshaking proportions, but would still
- appreciate comments, etc.
