Thanks, I will check it, the main goal was to document idioms that have been used in the past and are still being found in source code. But some guidance as how to modernise things is certainly within scope.

I have added a reference to the Wiki page. And added one somewhat obscure feature regarding I/O that I found there.

Looks good. Nice examples. Would make an interesting set of test cases or examples for modernizing tools like SPAG.
