Nope.  Newbies will make mistakes, we can't avoid 'em all (or bend
over backwards for many).  I think end is a perfectly good name.  I'd
bet that the problem would have solved itself eventually when he
looked at other people's code and discovered that the "end statement"
(which looks odd to me, for its lack of colon, for some reason) was
unnecessary.
