I modify Prop 1779 to the following:

{{__Pseudocoding is not a crime__

Remove "Attempting to perform or performing a Pseudocode action (as defined by precedent)" from the LOGAS.

Create the following rule:

{{__Pseudocode Revisited__

Proposals and game actions may use code-like structures called Pseudocode under the condition that the Pseudocode takes effect in a single instant and uses either features semantically, but not necessarily syntactically, similar to C's 'if', 'while', 'do while', 'for', 'break', 'goto', 'switch', 'continue', functions, variables, and operators, or features of normal English. These features evaluate with the normal semantics of C or English respectively. In the case of a loop that appears not to terminate, or Pseudocode difficult or impossible to determine the effects of, the Administator must decide some interestingly appropriate effect (in eir judgement) that terminates and allows the game to continue. [[This fixes previous problems with Pseudocode.]]
Any Pseudocode structure not covered under normal English usage [[for example, "If I have any points left, I give one to Bob the Voting Fish" is covered under normal English usage]] must be preceded by the string "#include <nomic.h>" and followed by the string "/* end of code */". These strings are known as the Pseudelimiters. Text that appears to need Pseudelimiters but does not have both of them has no effect.
}}
