Re: DRACO's use of reversed keywords for ending the construct:

  One of the beefs I have with both C and Pascal is that all block
structures end with the same keyword. I personally prefer them to be
distinct for each block type, and it doesn't matter to me whether they are
reversed keywords or ENDXXX, or whatever. I think that the ability to
quickly determine the extent of a structure regardless of minor style
differences is important to a quick grasp of the meaning of a bit of code.
