Well, the idea is that this "feature" wouldn't slow down Euphoria interpreter and perhaps increase in 2 or 3 Kb ex.exe size... so why don't do it? The only time you miss some "special feature" of a product is when you URGENTLY need it... and who knows when that will happen (hope it never happens). >Keep it simple, we're talking about a customer here, not the KGB.

Me neither, but I enjoy programming and from time to time some friend asks me to code something... >Personally I think Euphoria is perfect the way it is, but that's >coming from a guy who programs assembler on a 486 using just 8086 >opcodes and only 64K of memory. What can I say, I like simplicity. Take note that if you want to implement some machine code routines in Euphoria you must use 32 bit instructions, and be careful with JMP's... you must count you're working witth 32 bits registers.
