Forked from My frustration
Long ago, I started writing a guide for how to add a builtin to EUPHORIA. I abandoned before finishing though. My idea was to provide run-time type information to EUPHORIA but decided to stop at name_of() which is part of the alternative literals branch. The guide is unfinished but could be finished given the right encouragement.
I think such a guide would be extremely helpful and useful. You can certainly consider yourself to have my encouragement to finish it.
What do you want such a thing to do? You probably don't need it to be a builtin.
In BRyan's case, it doesn't need to be builtin. The key point is to be able to call an Euphoria-coded routine from the backend (as the 4.1 coverage code today does). But it'd probably be easier to do it with machine_funcs, for example.
