I vote for threads as well. However, what about DOS? Unless you really want to
attempt to write your own cooperative multitasking system yourself then threads
on DOs would be impossible. Some may say that DOS is obsolete and no one uses it
but I use it both at home and at work in pure DOS environments (FreeDOS usually).

I also would LOVE variable referencing via variable_id(), read_var(), and
write_var() style commands. Heck, even make a pointer data type if you want but
if I could add anything to Euphoria I would add this over threads or an "include
bug" fix. Many a headache has been due to trying to access and modify data fields
in an "object" when trying to do OOP stuff and it would be solved almost
instantly by adding these commands.

Also, I think that some form of a version() routine is absolutely essential.
