1. Built-in routine_ids?
Rob,
Why isn't routine_id allowed/able to get an id for a built-in function?
I want to be able to call them using call_proc...
I'm aware that I can create a lot of my own functions to wrap them,
but why isn't it possible to access them directly?

There's no logical reason why you can't do this.
I just haven't implemented it yet, since there hasn't been
much demand, and there's no elegant way for me to handle
it internally. It might happen some day.

I vote for this. I've had to wrap many of them. I think you (Rob)
underestimate the power routine_id() brings to Euphoria -- it enables so many
things you couldn't do otherwise. Implementing variable_id() would make it much
more powerful still...
