IIRC, it's just a simple scan. There is only a problem if it contains an =
sign (outside of string), and then if later it contains a comma outside of
parentheses (and outside of string), it could be a DO, otherwise it is an
assignment. As you would have to count parentheses it can't just be done with
a regexp.
