RE: Is this the Free-Format that we asked for?

[Joe Teff <joeteff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like Brad's statement. I personaly have no problem with the semicolon. I'm 
sure there will be things in the new version that I don't care for, but I'm 
excited about the things I see coming. Now if we can just loose the 5250 
baggage and get a real native UI.

Agreed about the semicolon.  Especially since the source are in eol
terminator members.  In other words, finding the end of the line isn't hard
at all.  A Semicolon shouldn't be needed.

As for the GOTOs, I'm happy to see them gone.

If we must have semicolons, I'd also like to see the use of curly brackets.
Just for the heckuv it.

if (x=1) {
  do this
  and this
  andi this
}
