It's not a bad trick to use [
I sometimes have the problem to forget ;
Eg.:
: bla ... do something ...
: blub ... another .... ;
In case the : is a macro, the compiler does not say anything about "blub". If :
would not be a macro, I would get feedback from compiler about that "blub" is
unknown.
Bis dann,
