Hans,

What about any of these?

Full support for parameterized types, by far most important.  So we could write 
our own %range, %in, etc. procedures.
Real support for system pointers.  So we can dynamically call procedures 
without worrying that it won't work some day.
Support for file alias so we could use the same file twice.  So we can take 
full advantage of blocking without having to use convoluted overrides, etc.
%passed built-in.  So we can easily see if a CONST/VALUE parameter with *NOPASS 
& *OMIT  was passed. 
%round built-in.  So we can avoid a half adjust line statement after an eval.
% operator for remainder.  So we can avoid divide and move remainder statements 
after/in eval.
*Continue return point from *PSSR.  So we don't have to code EXSR *PSSR, 
especially for statements that don't support (e) or error indicators.
