[newRPL] interested in RPN mode?

- RPN-like syntax for STO and RCL?
- RPN programming constructs (labels, GOTO, DSE, ISG)

To me, these things make RPN easier to learn and easier to program. But the come at the expense of much less functionality than RPL. To me, the stack behavior is of minimal value.

As a start I'd say no, you wouldn't have these. But nothing prevents adding new commands to newRPL within an RPN library, so you could have commands named DSE, ISG and make them perform exactly the same. But then you'd be defining a LARGE set of commands for RPN use only.

LBL and GOTO are hard to implement due to the structured nature of RPL. If it was easy I would've implemented GOTO for RPL already, I would say those 2 are a big "no".
