But there could be reasonable alternatives, like the syntax for renaming
fields in externally described files.  IE, place the name of the desired
look-ahead field to the left, and the name of the field for the contents
from the next record in the normal field name columns.

Granted, look-ahead fields aren't useful in very many scenarios so it isn't
a great loss.  Just one of those quirks you can run into while trying to
convert RPG II code.
