 Should I read that as "don't mention any more such bugs" or as "how do you
 fancy doing the corrections yourself?".
 I'd be happy to volunteer if you want someone to :)
 
 I notice the same usage was in section 14 in the October 1995 draft.

 I meant it doesn't appear as suggested in the syntax - the integer in the
 example is part of an integer declaration and not of any system task usage.
