Some legacy BASIC syntax #345

Description

@BlameTroi

Two items I've spotted thus far.

  • In traditional BASIC the LET statement existed. This was later removed as it was redundant, and then reused by VB for objects. I see no need for object support, but allowing LET as a no-op would make converting older BASIC source to endbasic. There are many vintage texts out there in BASIC that would be more accessible.
  • While it isn't needed given the block structure I see in endbasic, allowing a FOR variable on the NEXT statement is something I would like. I type "NEXT I" automatically and many vintage BASIC sources include it. I would not want multiple NEXT statement per FOR! At least allowing some variable as a no-op would help. Actually checking that the correct variable is named would be nice, but not really needed.
