By itself, from the 4ft pov, true, no error as Euphoria is now. But Euphoria still put two sleeps into the same namespace, and it had to include both sleeps in the run code, because of routine_id() being called. In this example, neither sleep is namespaced.
Actually, that depends on the contents of sleep.e - which isn't either a 3.1 or 4.0 include file.
Had i included os.e also, there'd be 3 sleep()s in the same namespace,
Actually, the one in os.e would be in os.e's default namespace.
and the program would happily begin running and not crash untill the program executed a routine_id(sleep), maybe hours later, with data loss. Come on Matt, surely Euphoria can be smarter than that.
It would not, as currently, routine_id(sleep) (assuming sleep is a variable containing the string "sleep") returns -1 instead of crashing. No crash, no data loss.
