LookAhead fields were originally intended for looking at the next card 
in the MFCU (multifunctional card unit) on the 360 and System/3's.  
There were situations where level breaks were insufficient or 
unworkable.  I mean, I guess one could still use them though that was 
the only time that I ever did.  But, if you really wanted to mess with 
the mind of the programmer in the next cubicle...
