C:
Short for "chutzpah", a quality needed before tacling even the more
simplest program with this language. C is also the symbol for the
speed of light, but that has absolutely nothing to do with how quickly
one can learn or use the language. C encourages self-documenting
structured programming through construct such as
(*wnd->func)(*++addr)
which means call the routine whose address is stored in the "func"
part of the structure pointed to by "wnd", and pass to it the contents
of the cell pointed to by the pointer in "addr" after it (the pointer,
not the contents) has been incremented. Or something like that.
COME FROM n.
A semi-mythical language construct dual to the
`go to' COME FROM <label> would cause the referenced label
to act as a sort of trapdoor, so that if the program ever reached
it control would quietly and automagically be transferred to
the statement following the COME FROM....
