I agree that I would like the end statements to become more specific - 
at least optionally... I hate when you have a long class file and you 
get the dreaded Unexpected end of file, expecting END or something... 
and you have no idea where in the 200 lines you forgot to insert an end, 
or you left a brace hanging on the line above an end or what not. Even 
if we didn't mandate endif, we could let end do what it does, but with 
an optional argument (end if, end class, end def) - I would use these, 
and the interpreter would thus be able to catch the error a lot closer 
to the source -- class not closed at line 50 is more helpful then end of 
file at line 230...
