About IMPORTs not being declarations--
I thought I had constructed an example for which both Powell and Cambridge
compilers agreed with me, and after deleting it I cannot reconstruct it.
(It must have been late at night. :-)  Simple experiments suggest Powell
takes IMPORTs as declarations, Cambridge not.

Since my purpose was to advance my view of the language, not defend a
particular compiler, I will cheerfully abominate Powell and laud
Cambridge on this one point.  Perhaps others will concede that Powell
is not totally depraved, then.

It would be nice if there were a _real_ m2 compiler available for unix,
but no one seems to think it's worth developing the product. Sigh.
