I used that *very* infrequently, even when i could, in pascal.

I do, in vars as well. It's nice to be able to clear a slew of them with

 unset %weather.*

that will clear
%weather.time
%weather.place
%weather.state
%weather.city
%weather.room
%weather.nick
etc,,, just not in Eu (yet?).

Made me think,, since we can trace(x) and trace(0) , can we un-include button.e
?

include button.e
  draw( stuff........ )
uninclude button.e

include otherfile.e
   draw( other stuff........)
uninclude otherfile.e

Both files would be in our exe, but the interpreter or translator would have the
name in
each place linked only to the last file included. Yep, it's prolly too much of
another
hack.
