MESA is a truly amazing language.  Where else can you find a single
subroutine call which begins on page 3 of a listing and ends on page
7?...  (All the stuff in between is an error handler.)

(Actually, it does have a lot of good ideas in it.  I just dislike
having pieces of code get very far apart, which happens every time
you need an ENABLE clause.)
