I think you are forgetting. Did you write BEGIN ... END, 'begin'
... 'end' or .BEGIN ... .END? And you can use (...) instead of begin
... end, just as there's no need to use 'IF' 'THEN' 'ELSE' either since
you might choose to use ( | and ). And what were the options for
writing multiplication and so on in your favourite compiler? And, of
course, then there is white space in identifiers...
Algol 68 has plenty of ways to introduce variability in code.
