Hi John,

I'm about to git push a patch to restrict FORWARD to ISO:

$ gm2 forward.mod
forward.mod:4:31: error: In procedure ‘foo’: forward declaration is only 
allowed in the ISO dialect of Modula-2
    4 | PROCEDURE foo (a: CARDINAL) ; FORWARD ;
      |                               ^~~~~~~

$ gm2 -fiso forward.mod
$

regards,
Gaius
