Program Real Line Counter. Anyone want to jump in?

1) It's parsing, which makes it fun.

2) Practical use: Contests.

Once in a blue moon someone will put together a contest. Maybe write a pong game in 100 lines or less. Maybe even fewest lines wins. Anyway, colons make it possible to place many statements on a single line. Parsing out the colons, which serve that purpose, makes judging the actual lines used to code the program quantifiable.

Like I always say, "Don't take it parsenally!"

Yep, now I get it.
I'll watch from the kiosk.
