 In any case, I'm fine with doing nothing here, and that seems to be the way 
 this issue is (strongly) trending.

+I had a bit of second thought on this. I have been reading the rationale 
+written by Ichbiah et al (one of the al was me) in 1985. It strongly 
+emphasises the uniformity with case being matched by end case, record being 
+matched by end record etc. (page 13  in fact).
+
+Although I would not strongly object to allowing id after end record; the 
+thought of omitting record itself fills me with horrors.
+
+Note that blocks can be named as well in which case the end must be followed 
+by the block name.  Blocks could not be named in Preliminary Ada. Named loops 
+in Preliminary Ada were disgusting, the name at the front being a label thus
+
+<<nasty>> loop
+
+  exit nasty when .....
+
+end loop nasty;
+
+We don't need to add nasty stuff.
