No, no, comments *have* to be made before code is produced.  Afterwards,
they're called complaints <0.9 wink>.

I think you're doing fine here, and symbolic label names are 80% of the tag
table battle, "block if" another 15%.  The biggest caution is that no little
language stays little forever -- unless it's a failure.  So things you'd
never do in a "real language" are suspect in any language; e.g., if I have
to write "lower+upper" instead of "lower + upper" because whitespace is your
only means of separating fields, that doesn't bode well for future feature
bloat.
