Since it is derived from Oberon-07, its syntax will indeed be slightly different
from the official Oberon-2 spec. Of course, this will only add to the confusion
among users, as there is now yet another language variant to deal with.

It would be straightforward to provide a variant compliant with official spec.
But this may be seen as a step backwards by some. On the upside though,
it will allow legacy Oberon-2 programs to be compiled as is.

It’s only a question of what one wants to build..
