Euphoria doesn't support dynamic inclusion functionability because of the
optional ability to bind or shroud and translate to C then compile. My library
doesn't work with bound or translated/compiled applications either.

Why should we use a different language, that is wrapped to Euphoria to do that,
when we could just do it in Euphoria? They're may be other specific uses for a
Lua wrapper, but nothing I would ever need.

Your PostgreSQL wrappers look interesting though... how did you finish it so
quickly? Did you use a program that automatically generates wrappers for you like
DAWG?
