The lack of structures in Euphoria bothers me as well, see my postings
on this subject from a couple of years ago.
In this instance, you can illustrate your point about assembling

Obviously, you have some master stroke of code that cuts this Gordian
knot and I am too stupid to see it. Please put me out of my misery and
elucidate.
