- In summary, Oberon and Oberon-2 are (at least for ETH) research
- projects and, thus, subject to changes and development. So, you've to
- decide whether you want to be ETH-compatible or close to one of the

- Question: If I can give more than one interpretation to a particular
- aspect of the report and the ETH compiler produces output consistent
- with one of those interpretations, how can I be sure that it is the
- correct one?

- Answer: You can't, that is what a formal definition is for.
