The standard library often has forward referencing but any legacy EUPHORIA program will ofcourse not be using it and thus there would be no problem. I'd love to have 4.0 forward referencing and the regex stuff in a dll rather than linking statically. However, when an approach that performs so much better than an artistically superior solution one should compromise and give up what is more artisitically superior in favor of what has more practical value.
The question if the interpreter had a 'no-forward-referencing' switch would you be able to cut down this parse time significantly? I guess it would take a significant amount of coding just to find out. If you reduced it by 99% it would still be too slow: 20 seconds. If we don't make this fast here, 4.0 will need pre-compiled headers.
