*gurgle* man I hate that. I get it, but these little odd nuances make
it near impossible for someone else to write a parser. SDL is a rough
enough language as it is...

can you not use this opportunity to "shape" the future? eg if you said from
version 3.9 or 3.10 the parser -- too lenient now -- will get "tightened", like
no more #declare without terminating semicolon, or even force ("nudge" ;-))
people into using commas consistently. with the '#declare deprecated' you
already have a mechanism, no?
personally I'd like to see a '#pragma' keyword that would, among other things,
allow disabling certain parser warnings like "no object in scene", perhaps:
#pragma disable_warning_*
or an enhanced #debug? a real bugbear since I frequently have "scenes" that
only calculate or try something, ie without cameras, lights, and objects.
regards, jr.
