Sorry, gotta go with Vincent on this one - we really do need to have more
colourful icons for our desktop.
Our programs will never be as good as ones written in the more complicated
languages without the colourful icons. In fact I think Euphoria should drop many
of the current language features like - print, sprint, while, if, message_box,
etc in favour of having some extra functionality to provide better icon support.
Who needs other stuff anyway?

PS. I actually vote FOR foreach - use it all the time in PHP and it rally does
save a huge amount of confusion - though mainly with associative arrays!
