IMPLIED DO-LOOP STATEMENT

Currently, Fortran requires the first character in a statement
to be alpha.  If we allowed an open-bracket character "(" we
could use the implied do-loop construction.  For example:

	(((C(I,J)=A(I,K)*B(K,J) ,K=1,M) ,I=1,M) ,J=1,M)

This clear statement would replace the familiar clutter of:

	DO J etc
	 DO I etc
	  DO K etc
	   C(I,J)= etc
	  ENDDO
	 ENDDO
	ENDDO
	    -plus blank lines an apologetic explanation...


How about it?
