"Glotmorf, go to Hell", or even "Glotmorf, goto hell" would not *buzz*
constitute Pseudocode. This would:

{{__MyProp__

hell:

i=1;

give i points to Zarpint

i++;

if(i<5) goto hell;
}}

And you'd use a *buzz* for loop anyway. You actually need the code to
execute. Just making a *crackle* comment to Glotmorf does not suffice.
