On Commodore 116/16 and 64, you could even program directly in the tokens. ? was print , most others were just abbreviations like fO instead of for or oP instead of open . And when you byte-dumped the memory containing the program, it contained these instead of all the commands.

WOW! You know Commodore Basic was my first programming language° (on a CBM4000), and it was very surprising to find out later that other languages/Basic dialects didn't support ? for print.
