Specifically, the following six punctuator tokens are now supported:
<: :> <% %> %: %:%:
These behave the same as the existing tokens [, ], {, }, #, and ## (respectively), apart from their spelling.
This can be useful when the full ASCII character set cannot easily be displayed or input (e.g. on the IIgs text screen with certain language settings).
Mainly, this causes the messages from the format checker to be displayed after the relevant line is printed, along with any other error messages. The wording and formatting of some of the messages is also slightly adjusted, but there should be no substantive change in what is warned about.
This allows the code to be displayed properly on GitHub and in modern text editors, which typically do not support the irregularly-spaced tab stops used for ORCA/M code. It also avoids any possibility of problems building the code if the SysTabs file is missing or has been customized with non-standard tab stops.
