Ah yes, the V7 Bourne Shell, still alive and kicking in 4.3BSD.  But
how could you leave out LOOP-POOL, IF, ORF, and ANDF, not to mention
ELIF, WHILE-DO-OD, and SWITCH-IN-ENDSW?

Did Steve really feel that much more comfortable writing Algol than C?

I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and
tired of being told that ordinary decent people are fed up in this
country with being sick and tired.  I'm certainly not.  But I'm
sick and tired of being told that I am.
