You can name a loop with a label and it helps find which "end" you mean if you've got nested loops. Same with declare blocks. Why not for "if" statements and "case" statements? Maybe also records - but the record already has a name and aren't nested so it would probably look inconsistent. It probably wouldn't amount to a major syntax change & might be mildly useful. But not having thought about it thoroughly, there may be issues. (What would you do if you had lots of "elsif" parts?) Anyway, its just an idea to think about....
