You're probably using some language like Pretty Big -- if this is the
case, then you should switch to the Module language.

The `#lang' line is not a pragma -- it is a kind of a declaration that
determines the language that the file is written in.  It is similar in
nature to the <lang> in

  (module my-module <lang>
    ...code...)

except that it can also control the syntax of the code.
