This is not true.  The biggest change was the IF (...) THEN ... ENDIF
construct.  I don't know of *any* compiler which supported this before the
standard came out; certainly it was not common.  This change was completely
upward compatible; but so are my proposed changes.  (Well, not completely so
in all cases, but almost.  Some of them reserve new keywords.)
