True.

You can even begin by *listing* the sequences you're interested
in *before* talking about a language.

Robert and you are obviously deep in the needs and the examples,
but I can't even think about a language without examples of
sentences.

Given that you added quite a few verbs recently, are you talking
about adding a 'if' and a 'loop' verbs or something entirely
different ?
