Using the language features right (was: Qualified sub-procedures)

A perfect RPG example is the addition of structured operation codes.  Simply
having ENDIF available does not make the programmer write structured code;
we see horrors like 10 ENDIFs in a row, where the test spans hundreds of
lines.

'Structured' and 'OO' are very much a programmer methodology.  The language
can help or hinder, but the programmer must think OO first and foremost.
