If you saw the source code, you would probably say it was *very*
stinky. Type-casting city. It was originally called "Pete's Euphoria
interpreter", but when I made the page, I decided to emphasize the
portability aspect... David Cuny has also referred to it as
"Petephoria".

I hate to tell you this, but in PEU, sequence pointer addresses will be
limited to 1GB due to the structure of my object type. Sorry. If a
pointer is malloc'ed above 1GB, the interpreter can't use it... though
that pointer is just to a 12-byte header, which contains a full 32-bit
pointer to the actual sequence data. Hmm...
