Standards question: What is your feeling about %found & %eof vs.
%found(file) & %eof(file) ?
The latter syntax is specific to the file you're asking about, while the
former syntax just returns the values relevant to the last file
accessed, which might vary at any given point in the program, if
different files were accessed conditionally.
Thus, unless I *really want* the "last file accessed" values, regardless
of what the "last file accessed" happened to be, I use the latter syntax.
People talk about wanting to do away with numbered indicators; yet
without %found(file) and %eof(file), you'd be stuck with numbered
indicators (or awkward syntax involving saved values of %found and %eof)
if you needed the results for specific files.
