There's languages, I think, where

 if blah then do
    ...
 end

must (or can optionally) not just have "end" but "end if". And other
control structures also have eg

 case ...
 end case

 while ...
 end while

I've not programmed in any of these recently, but code that changed a
plain "end" to "end <whatever>" might be useful to someone.


Likewise some (all?) for/next  loops require the loop variable to be
named in the "next" statement.


Even in languages that don't need that, some people might code eg

  do i = 1 to 10
     ...
  end /* i */

so there's certainly scope for language-specific insertion of some
sort of literals.
