  pragma
       
          (pragmatic information) A standardised form of {comment} which
          has meaning to a {compiler}.  It may use a special {syntax} or
          a specific form within the normal comment syntax.  A pragma
          usually conveys non-essential information, often intended to


          help the compiler to optimise the program.
