[RFC] GNU Algol 68 Coding Guidelines

[jpl]

Hej Jose,  Thanks for putting these guidelines.

Lurker, and first time poster here with a question on the phrasing below:

The above appears to disallow single line closed clauses completely (?).

I mean, one cannot use parentheses on single line closed clauses, and also
when using
BEGIN/END one cannot use a single line.

Is there a typo, or have I misunderstood something?  Should this be:

*USE* parentheses for closed clauses that span a single line      (?)

Cheers,
James
