Ooops, I forgot another bit of trivia from my past!

Ordinarily I do as well, but sometimes I cheat... I remember
from my FORTH days (FORTH also eschews any pretense at syntax)
the convention of using horizontal whitespace to break a run
of words into "phrases", which might deal with the above
something like
while [x < y] [y: y - x append z "x"]
Just another option, but not one so easily automated!
