(I don't think Algol-68 used corp otherwise it might have been copied 
too. But I also have 'function', and 'noitcnuf' would be a bit much.

Anyway in this variation of the syntax, there is a choice of block endings.

So 'case' can be closed with 'end', 'endcase', 'end case' or 'esac'.

With loops like while-do, either 'while' or 'do' can be the keyword.

For some kinds of blocks, (...) can be used.

But there can't be no block ending as in Python; there has to be 
something. Indentation here is not significant.)
