<< If any other person is going to start using such arguments, im going to
bang
 my head against the wall. Hello? This is EUPHORIA, not C.
 Here are a couple of multiple choice questions:

 What is most important in making a programming language ?
 a) That its a good, practical language
 b) That its not C.

 Are structures unique to C or were they added to C, because they were so
 helpfull in other languages ?
 a) True
 b) False

 Do you have some sort of emotional disorder, which makes you want to compare
 everything to C, problaly due to some tragic experience with C ?
 a) Yes, thats the reason I can't shut up about C!
 b) No, I just make this statement about C, because here on the list
 everybody is against C, and this way I'll be liked.
 c) No, I dont like structures on itself, and C has got nothing to do with
 it.

 What letter comes after A and B  in the Alphabet ?
 a) G
 b) C
 c) respectively B and C

 Do you actually have some experience programming C which you base your
 judgement about C on ? And do you consider C to be the same as a feature 99%
 of all languages have: structures or at least so much the same, such an
 argument in actually of _any_ (?) meaning in the discussion ?
 a) Yes
 b) No

Ralf, THANK YOU.
I have been trying to explain this too.  Your bluntness certainly helps.  C is
a good programming language and borrowing a good component of it simply
enhances our programming experience.  If you don't like structures when there
implemented into Euphoria (fingers crossed) just DONT USE THEM!
