I have a long list of minor issues to look at,
but I'm still open to suggestions for some major features.
I may look into threads in more detail.

I'm opposed to C-style pointers and structures.
Programming in a world of values, is fundamentally cleaner

where the values occupy a certain number of bytes in a certain format.
I would never want to give you the address of a Euphoria variable.
