Around 1985, I heard Teitelman's "Do What I Mean" (DWIM) referred to as DWWTWHM
("Do What Warren Teitelman Would Have Meant").
It is a hard problem. It's also an important problem.
(In Midje, I've tried to be good about checking for user errors. It's
surprising how often a misparenthesization can't be reported because there's a
legitimate use with the same "shape".)
