One feature I *especially* like about Modula-2 is the way it
will let you use lowercase versions of reserve words as identifiers!
For example,

	TYPE

		arraytype = ARRAY [0..10] OF settype;

is perfectly legal!  In a type declaration, you can be very
descriptive (foobartype -- what is it? An array? A set? A file?)
of your types.  Or variable names, for that matter, but if the types document
themselves it isn't necessary.   

When you import a type from somewhere else, it is very obvious
which type it really is.

No pun intended, but:
The only thing I dislike is mixed case, because it is awful to type.
