around we go

[ep12]

In the example

Tommy was a dancer
While Tommy ain't nothing,
Knock down Tommy
And around we go

the usage/effect of around we go is unclear. It could be an alias for continue. But it is definitely not needed because any line that doesn't start with And ends the block. For a parser this could be difficult if the file doesn't end with a newline, don't forget to clean up opened blocks or throw an error (unexpected EOF) if you write a parser

Currently makes most sense if it's an alias for "end", and I think while and until should require an end statement.

OK, so I'm playing with using blank lines to terminate blocks. This means you can't just use random blank lines to make your programs more readable, but let's face it, that's not why we're here...

Hmm but I like around we go. although I am wonder if "chorus" could be used somewhere.
Currently bashing together a tokeniser / parser and so far this is only really painful bit, And could be a bit of a nuisance but it's doable.
Also I think a language called Rockstar should be unimplementable with standard lex/yacc.
