00300	 Official comment:
00400	   Why was NOMAC done as prefix operator instead of fn. call like CVMS.
00500	 NOMAC id,
00600	 CVMS(id),
00700	 and id ...,
00800	 represent the three manifestations of that identifier: name, unevaluated
00900	 value, and value; other languages which interpret things dynamically 
01000	 recognize this trinity (forgive me).  I think the syntax should be a bit
01100	 more unified.  (maybe let me say NOMAC(id) as well, or perhaps CVNAME(id)?
