Euphoria 2.5/3.0 IL ideas

A little while ago Robert Craig told us that he would split the new 
version of the Euphoria-system (should be 3.0 instead of 2.5) in a 
front-end and an IL-based back-end.

I have some ideas for the IL-system:

- perhaps someone could develop an IL-assembler, for low-level 
programming.
- in the Euphoria-code, you could then (if an IL-assembler exists) embed 
low-level IL-code, like this:

procedure SomeLowLevelProcedureThatNeedsToRunFastAsHell()

   -- some code

   il
      -- here comes the low-level IL-code
   end il

   -- some code

end procedure

- if the IL-specs are publicly released (which would be great), other 
developers could write programming languages that produce EuIL-code. 
This way, applications and libraries made in different languages could 
work together (like in .Net). You could then write a high-level 
application in (the not-yet-existing language) ObjectOrientedEuphoria, 
that uses a low-level library written in EuILAssembler or that uses 
Win32Lib, written in Euphoria.
