There are two possibilities for updating the document with this approach:
1. Just change the syntax expressions, and modify any syntax-specific
references. This would be the low-impact approach, with only cosmetic changes.
2. Rework the document. Add a new section which discusses the functional
requirements (must be able to turn clipping on and off, set the winding, and
invert subfiles), and change the existing "Language Extensions" section to
specify how the single 0 BFC statement implements the requirements.
I'll try doing #2 this weekend.

Subfile. A DAT file referenced from another file, via a linetype 1 command.
Or any file which is lower in the file-reference tree than the current file.
J Or any file which is the subfile of the current file (or thus of any of its
J subfiles).

There may be more comments later, but I have to go now.
Play well,

Er, OK. I'll put that in, but it seems redundant.

It means that I stuffed in the pseudo-code without rewriting the syntax-specific
sections. :(
