Things like ELSE in CASE or a warning in the case of a label that is not 
encountered relate more to the safety and practicality of the language 
than to implementation features like the platform and target processor.

And it also relates to the reliability of programs. But certainly not to 
the features of the platform. So it is too bad that all this has been 
forgotten.
