A Fortran compiler on the old XEROX Sigma-6 computer would look for an
equated label of the name "jail" and if it found it , it would stop compling
and printout "go directly to jail, do not pass go, donot collect $200."
and then keep on merrily humming along. Never did find out where in the
compiler that was stored.....
