I like it because it supports classes. I might use this, mainly because it
supports classes (structures). Though I don't like pressing !, will that
change sometimes soon?

I have a suggestion: these two routines would be usefull:

integer class_id = get_class_id (MYCLASS myclass)
MYCLASS myclass = get_class_from_id (integer class_id)

esspecially if we were able to append an integer to any window handle, but
that is already taken in win32lib unforunately. A lot of stuf in Windows has
wParam or lParam into which you can save your own data, so we could save id
of class in there, and then simply get class from that id when we need data
from that class.

I have just released my 'Extended Euphoria' to
the RDS user submissions. This version is free, but
 displays a sign-on message.

BLISS is a Euphoria derivative that adds:
1) leading comma allowed on declaration lists
2) nesting block comments
3) variable initialization
4) local variable initialization
5) slicing shorthands
6) relative include file paths
7) single key exit
8) goto
9) Exceptions (throw-catch)
10) structures with inheritance and
    dot-notation
11) Pass-by-reference (for structures only)
12) cdecl routines allowed in DLL (if not
    returning float or struct)

BLISS is an acronym for: Better Language for
Interpreting Sequences and Structures.
(Just trying to live up to the RDS standard for
lame acronyms  )

It seems to run no worse than 10% slower than Euphoria.

Attached are the test files that it currently
runs -- the only documentation at this time.

Comments and bug reports are welcome.
