Note that the same ambiguity exists in the <exception-handler> syntax (and

statement .
as <exception-handler> ends with a <statement> and the optional <"ELSE"
statement-list> part start with "ELSE". Sloppy language design, I assume by
Borland.
What exactly do you consider "sloppy" ?
The fact that the semicolon before the else is optional ?
