Well, I've finally compiled my Pretender demo under Llama, using my own
version of shroud. In addition to creating unique identifiers for non-core
identifiers, it also resolves strings in the routine_id function.

For some reason, Euphoria doesn't like any 'with' commands (trace/etc. or
magic numbers). Once they were removed from the file, I could bind it up
just fine. It leaves the 'core' routines alone, so you get code that looks
like:

   procedure id_34( sequence id_35, integer id_36 )
      puts( 1, "%d", id_35 )
      id_36 += 23
   end procedure
   id_37 = routine_id( "id_34" )

I need to add a command line interface to it, and clean it up a bit. It's
not especially clever - the code for handling global vs. local binding will
raise the hair on your neck, but it seems to work fine.

If people are interested, I'll send it off to Robert, probably later
tomorrow. I don't think he'll have any objections to posting it, but I could
be wrong. There aren't any trade secrets involved, since the description of
how shroud is fairly well known. As you can see, it doesn't encode any of
the 'core' routines ('puts' is left as 'puts', etc.). I'm not sure how
useful it is, since Robert is going to fix bind/shroud anyway.
