I'd assume that there string code would be running in it's own context.

It would be nice if there were a way to pass values to that context, such as:

-- compile code into a context 
{aContext, resultCode} = compile_code("myfile.ex") 
 
-- set top-level value for variable "some_string" to "a_value" 
{aContext, resultCode} = set_value(aContext, "some_string", "a value") 
 
-- execute procedure in context 
{aContext, resultCode} = call_routine(aContext, "some_procedure", {1,2,3}) 
 
-- execute function in context 
{aContext, returnValue, resultCode} = call_routine(aContext, "some_function", {1,2,3}) 
 
-- create an empty context that code can be compiled to 
sequence newContext = create_context() 
 
-- compile code into the context 
{newContext, resultCode} = compile(newContext, "integer a\na=22") 
 
-- retrieve top-level "a" value from the context 
{result, resultCode} = get_value(newContext, "a") 

I'd also assume that if there was an error while executing something in the context, there would be routines for retrieving that information.
