In additions to initial clauses, I've often wanted to use second
clauses, thirds, fourths, as well as finals.  I guess it could go
on forever.  With "finals" the real problem seems to be how the
interpreter is supposed to know that a given call is really the
last one.  I don't see how it can know this sort of thing.
