Among others, an Algol program by Knuth, "GPS", which uses Jensen's device
heavily, is included in the distro, along with copies of the Whetstone Algol
Translator (compiler) and Controller (interpreter) to run it.

Parameterized expressions seem to be edging in that direct, though.
Perhaps on the agenda for Ada 60?  8-)
