A NEXT SENTENCE in the same IF as an END-IF is abuse because the
standard specifically disallows it.

'Faith' is a belief in something in spite of the evidence. Knowledge is
a belief in something _because_ of the evidence.

My stance is entirely that code can be determined by evidence, no faith
is required. I don't assume that there may be or may not be a next
sentence, an alter, or even a GO TO, I can do a text search to
determine absence. Once absence is established then the contexts that
can only occur when these constructs exist can be ignored.

OTOH if those constructs do exist then the contexts that can occur are
much more varied and complex.
