Is it feasible for DCL?  Sure. Though it'll likely involve passing some
of the syntax to lib$table_parse or ilk for parsing, as do a few DCL

In the context of this thread, they probably wouldn't.

This discussion, which Arne is jumping into as a willing

but rather a vehicle for the troll OP to preen and strut around,
