    I would like to some other discussion of proposed extentions to Modula 2.
    In February's Computer Language there is a discussion of many extensions
    to the language.  In my opinion most of them are not needed.  Any other
    comments?

I whole-heartedly agree.  Instead of spending time changing the language,
people should be using their time to improve (or create) implementations
for the language as it stands.  The exceptions module sent with the above
message is a perfect example of what Wirth wanted: extend the language
with modules not with features that must be implemented in the compiler.
