Gaah. I should have read this message before posting the last one :) :)

I think if this were to be fixed, BIND and SHROUD would have to become
2-pass compilers, which is something Rob wanted to avoid.
I'm just trying to think it through as I type...
Yup. Solved it, and it *doesn't* have to be 2-pass.
Routine_Ids should be set at compile time. They can't possibly change, so
I think this is a vialable option.
e.g.
function foo()
return time()
end function
bar = routine_id("foo")
Compiles to
function_token foo_tag ( ) return_token time_token ( ) end_token
function_token bar_tag = constant_from_id_table_for_foo
...or whatever. Notice it removes the need for a token for routine_id,
since it never gets used.
IMHO, it's a perfect argument for including and appending to an internal
routine_id() table for the interpreter.
We could then also do things like 'bar = routine_id("time")', without
having to define a wrapper function like 'foo()'.
Looks like I may have started another "we want _this_ feature" thread.
Sorry. :( :)
