eww, this means that I shouldn't have any libs that are named the same as
you have done.
hence, I shouldn't have a folder named, oh, unkmar.  and in that folder have
a file named.
I don't know, file.e because if I use my file.e then I can't use yours.

(hiss) - How awful of you.  so now you are telling us to have some cryptic
filenames.
I can have unkfile.e but shouldn't have file.e

I can see now that, when I finally manage to get the time to peel myself out
of Euphoria,
that I won't likely look back in quite so much a positive light. :(
