Done.

I also tried to include this information from you, as well as C.K.'s input.

I think adding such a routine could be helpful for debugging purposes.
Sometimes programmers might be confused, because their program does not
do what they expected. The reason might be, that Euphoria does use a
different configuration file (and so includes different source code)
than they expected. So there should be a way to check, which
configuration file is actually used by a given instance of Euphoria.
I wrote this opinion in the wiki, too.
Please look at the wiki page, and correct, rearrange, or supplement
things as required.
