Sockets in 4.0 are a major milestone in Euphoria's progress. SSL support is the next big step and is required for any standard security communication.
It should be discussed after 4.0 release as to the best way to accomplish this. Built into the static library eu.e/.lib? Available via an add on library (eussl.a/.lib)? Available via open_dll() module? etc... Many decisions, all can wait until later.
