cool. speaking of punch cards:

"The reading of doublets is normally terminated by the word STOP. If
parentheses do not count out, STOP will appear to be inside an
S-expression and will not be recognized as such. To prevent reading from
continuing indefinitely, each packet should end with STOP followed by a
large number of right parentheses. An unpaired right parenthesis will
cause a read error and terminate reading. "

thems were the days.
