Look at the corresponding code in the 1994 version of Project Oberon. You
can download it from:

ftp://ftp.ethoberon.ethz.ch/Oberon/Books/ProjectOberon/

Each function is about 25-30 lines long and at first glance looks fairly
inscrutable. I don't know how compatible it is with Project Oberon but you
should get some ideas about what is possible. You should also get a better
understanding why it hasn't been 'improved' yet.
