I don't enable extended parse unless I'm working on LLVM related things.  I have
some command files that don't work well with extended parsing (I'm slowing fixing them).

Here's a tip: if you have code that wants to define your own LNM$FILE_DEV to include another
directory, don't put LNM$PROCESS, LNM$JOB, LNM$GROUP, LNM$SYSTEM back in as lowercase
instead of uppercase.  I think there is some lookup that should be case-blind but isn't.  Go do a

$ set process/parse=extended
$ define LNM$FILE_DEV lnm$process,lnm$job,lnm$group,lnm$system /table=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY
$ show defa
$

and enjoy the confusion
