	However, it saves a couple of keywords (just a single TO,
	instead of LEFT$, MID$ and RIGHT$), which should've been
	important in a BASIC which mapped both characters /and/ keywords
	to the same set of 256 possible octets.

	(Also to note is that as an extension, Beta BASIC allowed for
	the TO syntax to be used on arrays.)

	Given that I'm musing over the possibility of writing (one more)
	BASIC interpreter for an MCU, -- either an 8-bit AVR, or an
	32-bit ARM, or perhaps both, -- I guess I'd be more interested
	in following the Sinclair BASIC syntax.  (Or should I check if
	MMBasic can be improved to suit my needs first?)
