A few comments:

 1. Most of the macro instructions the paper mentions come with
    the HLA toolkit. I'm not sure how they compare to the older
    Concept 101 macros, which I haven't used in decades.

 2. The paper by Böhm and Jacopini makes much narrower claims than
    what is often attributed to it. 

 3. Rexx does not have a GOTO. Those who try to use SIGNAL as if
    it were GOTO often shoot themselves in the foot as a result.
