::::All of these points are important to different coders in different scenarios. What would be nice is to have a standard template indicating how which solution was used, eg instead of simply <nowiki>{{header|ALGOL 68}}</nowiki>, we could have <nowiki>{{header|ALGOL 68|using=library:GSL}} or {{header|ALGOL 68|solution=builtin}} or {{header|ALGOL 68|solution=algorithm}}</nowiki> |

:::: Or a check box table (for each of the above) could be included at the start of each languages section as a visual aid to seeing which solution is most complete. |
