Who the bloody eff still codes CABEQ in this century?!?!?!?

What are the chances we could get IBM / Barbara to get the compiler to puke
on any of the CAB* opcodes? At a minimum, the compiler should post a
message requiring a reply to the question, "How many years before you
retire?" and, if the response is greater than 1, tell the user to drop the
bloody CAB* opcodes and try again.

Perhaps less complex is to just update SEU one last time that flags any
CAB* opcode as a syntax error. Cuz you damn well know they're not using
RDi!

Yes, there are other opcodes, including cousin GOTO (so flag that as a
syntax error as well), but CAB* opcodes are so obscure, I spend a minute or
two just trying to understand what is trying to be accomplished.

Is it 5:00 yet?
