I don't see much need for this. Use & for long string constants.

Somewhat interesting, but I'm not planning anything.

Sometime after the compiler.

I checked into this for you a few months ago and concluded
that it's surprisingly difficult to add. So no plans.

Euphoria already has the equivalent of C static functions and
variables at the file level. At the function level, I do not
intend to add static variables. It's of little value.

No plans, but not completely ruled out.

No plans.

8. #Define operator

No plans.

I'm currently working on a Euphoria compiler, actually
a translator to C. Things are going well. I'm progressing
faster than I expected, but I'll need at least a couple of
more months.
