• Blocks
  • { .. } are recognized but nothing is done with them as yet

• And all the stuff I haven't seen or thought of yet.

Interesting notes about Fancy identifiers and symbols.

Valid characters for symbols := % ^ & * - + = : | < > [ ] ? ! ~ Valid characters for identifiers := % ^ & * - + = < > ? ! ~
