I find myself liking this style for words that require a termination
word.

Thus I would prefer
RECORD: .... ;RECORD
to
RECORD  .... END-RECORD (or was it ENDRECORD, END_RECORD, RECORD-END)

and

CODE: ... ;CODE
to
CODE ... END-CODE


While I have no problem with CREATE VARIABLE VALUE  etc  since they do
not need a completion word.
