New archive section recommendation.

I think that there should be a "programming languages" section to the archive. Maybe not by that name and maybe not in the immediate future but there are a fair amount of language interpreters and translators in the archive already and Euphoria lends itself very nicely to writing interpreters so I'd expect more to come out eventually. Right now there's interpreters for Joie, Brainf*ck, HamsterSpeak, XProl, ETL and EOR, a simple language, and a multitude of assemblers and preprocessors (all this was from simply searching for "programming language"). Plus I'm currently working on a Lisp interpreter, almost done with a PILOT interpreter, have a Minimal BASIC interpreter, and will start a Scheme interpreter as soon as the others are done and uploaded to the archive so the list will grow. The biggest issue would what would be allowed inside the catagory. For example, would preprocessors, visual programming environments, and SQL wrappers count as "programming languages"?
