The explanation I heard for high level language like constructs in
some processor instruction sets is that it helped people coding in
assembler. Now that compilers and interpreters have made assebler
uncommon for most programmers, thoose constructs isn't needed, since
the compiler handles that.

I think it means something muddy, uncomprenhensive, diffuse, vague or
something like that.
