Entry as a reserved word

[M Gordon]

Most compilers I have used have entry as a reserved word but I've never been
able to find anywhere that tells me what it's for. My guess would be it was
supposed to be used to mark a function as the entry point for the program
i.e.
	entry foo()
	{
		....

Was entry used in very early compilers or was it just an idea that has never
been taken up?
