Re: gm2 rejecting a constant statement as variable

[Alice Osako]

    I have found out that part of
      the problem is the way the assignment is split across multiple
      lines. The following does in fact compile when written as a single
      line:
      
      BitsInUse =
      ORD(AddressableBits > MaxBits) * MaxBits + ORD(AddressableBits
      <= MaxBits) * AddressableBits;
      
    Given that Modula-2 should treat newlines as
      whitespace, this is clearly problematic.
