Algol 68 is a very good programming language.  Once implemented in a
modern optimized compiler and carefully extended, I plan to use it for
many of my non-C projects.

Sure thing.  Will send a V2.

I see this triggered a ddebugs ticket.  Should I send the [PATCH V2] by
replying to this email, or start a new thread?  If the second, shall I
add 75807 <at> debbugs.gnu.org in CC?  How does it work?

Thanks!
