}I know of no provision for this in Fortran, Pascal, Algol, or APL. Every

Since we ARE obviously talking about different things, I'm getting out
of the discussion. My posting was about open coding, and you seem to
be asking about user-defined inline procedures and escapes to
assembler. I don't have a good answer to your question.
