Good point. Easy to fix. The following statements have
now been eliminated from main$.c:
      _0BATCH = 50;
      _0BENCH_TIME = 15;
      _0SIZE = 500;
      _0ON = 1;
      _0OFF = 0;
      _0SCREEN = 1;

The declarations of these symbols in
init$.c and main$.h have also been eliminated.

If a Euphoria constant symbol is set to an integer literal
(like they usually are) I no longer emit any declarations
or code for it. I just plug in the numeric value as needed.
When a constant is set to a more complex expression
I still have to emit a declaration plus some code to
evaluate the expression.
