1. proc_id ... foiled again!

I wanted to use the syntax:

   class( "window" )
      element( "x", "integer" )
      element( "y", "integer" )
      element( "bitmap", "pixmap" )

where element() would be able to look up the type() routine for a =
user-defined datatype (such as pixmap).

Foolish me - as usual, the requirement that any routines be defined =
*before* the routine that uses routine_id thwarted me.

This is just one of *many* times when I've wanted to use proc_id() in =
procedures, but have been blocked by this "must be defined first" =
requirement. Please, just require that routine names passed to proc_id =
be declared as global, or create a global_id() routine.

Thanks.
