     NOTRICKLE tells the compiler that nowhere in the program could
     control "trickle" from one PERFORM-range into another. Such a
     program has structured flow of control: it contains no paragraph
     or section that is entered both by being PERFORMed and by control
     falling into it from the preceding code, and none that is at the
     end of the range of one PERFORM and in the middle of the range
     of another PERFORM.
 
     With NOTRICKLE, the compiler can generate more efficient code for
     PERFORM statements.
