Ok, that was a horrible example.  Let's say instead I wanted a new FUNCTION or
VERB or something (like being able to do LOG in COBOL), I would like a simple
extensible way to add the necessary code to do this.  Some of the people I have
talked to have other ideas for functionality they would like to add, either as
generally accepted COPY libraries or as extensions to COBOL.
