So because mIRC supports some bad habits you think it should support more?
It may be awkward to remove the current allowances due to backwards compatability, but that's absolutely no reason to encourage more poor code by making mIRC play parser-detective.
You seem to have some kind of pathological phobia of errors. There's nothing wrong with them. They're downright vital in fact. When code's meaning isn't clear - that's an error. Trying to sweep them under the carpet with guesswork doesn't help anybody.
