Humberto,
Since Euphoria provides only "local to file" and "private" (to procedures and
functions), I would like to see namespace
support, even more than ANY other feature. A large Euphoria program, with many
"includes", is very prone to name
conflicts which can cause many problems during program development.
Am I right in assuming that your preprocessor work requires you to write a
Euphoria parser? I would love to see
such a parser packaged in include files which could then be used by other
programmers to build in some badly needed
tools such as a cross reference list (names and types, and in which lines they
are used).
