If I wish to call any particular construct an 'abuse' then I will do
so, and I will not put up with censorship telling me that I cannot say

I think that you are confused. A READ statement, for example, must
specify AT END or INVALID KEY if no USE procedure is specified, but if
these are included on each READ there is no requirement to have a
file-status or a use procedure.
