Modula-2?

If there is anyone interested in flaming about Modula-2,
what say we lobby for a Modula-2 notesfile?

net.lang.mod2 ???

    I'm all for it.  I am implementing a compiler for the 68000 and there
are several places in the Report that I feel are ambiguous.  I'd like to
discuss it with other people interested in Modula-2.  I have one strong
disagreement (BITSET as a standard type) with the language definition but
other than that I absolutely love the language.  I describe Modula-2 as
90% of Ada with 10% of the complexity (that should start a few flames).
