I’m pretty confident that CDC’s PL/1 compiler for NOS on its 60-bit
mainframes hade them too. I tried to learn and use it for a college project
back around 1978-79 but it was too buggy. Slight syntax errors would lead
to the dreaded “Exchange Package”, a register dump that was sort of like
getting a stack dump on other systems.
