Hmmm. Anybody know offhand why the Icon translator should accept the
following file...
link sprint
global run
record walk ( crawl )
procedure main () ; end
...but barf on this:
link sprint ; global run ; record walk ( crawl ) ; procedure main () ; end
I guess I thought that reserved were initially parsed as identifiers, and
then converted to reserved words by a table lookup process. That would
make them able to begin and end expressions. Hence you'd expect automatic
semicolon insertion after things like "link sprint" - right? I'm probably
missing something silly, but I'm curious what it is.
