Euclid
     
         (Named after the Greek geometer, fl ca 300 BC.) A
        {Pascal} descendant for development of verifiable system
        software.  No {goto}, no {side effects}, no global
        assignments, no functional arguments, no nested procedures, no
        floats, no {enumeration types}.  Pointers are treated as
        indices of special arrays called collections.  To prevent
        {aliasing}, Euclid forbids any overlap in the list of actual
        parameters of a procedure.  Each procedure gives an imports
        list, and the compiler determines the identifiers that are
        implicitly imported.  Iterators.
     
        Ottawa Euclid is a variant.
