Some compiler systems (actually the source editor) still insert sequence numbers beginning at column 73 today, by default. You could always turn them off.


My coco will optionally add "sequence numbers" after column 72
as bang comments, so these would be ignored under Giles' proposal.

<snip a bunch more>

Certainly. In either case, though it was two macro statements to insert an inline comment marker at column 73, one to remove the sequence numbers altogether, but the compiler actually used the sequence numbers for error reporting and so would likely be messed with.

If you want to do the impossible, don't hire an expert because he knows it can't be done.
