Did you wonder why this isn't working so well, even though features can be
easy to add? They are limited to the ey.ex stuff which is obviously slower,
so that you can't test whether the added feature would cause a performance
issue or not. Plus, everyone is adding a couple different feature, and can't
release contributions based on it, because that would involve running them
with eu.ex - see above.
I'd cnsider using ooeu, because it has most what I think Eu is missing,
except a decent global resolution system, which I designed. but what can I
release using it?
