That seems a little uncalled for.  Besides, that's not really outside the
realm of possibility with the translator.  

In any case, you could work up a scheme to do this in pure Euphoria.  You
could create your own heap within a sequence/a-list and use routine_id's.
Then you parse the command and execute it.  It's more work, and it would be
slower than using native variables, but that doesn't mean it couldn't work.
The extra flexibility could definitely be worth it.

Or you could just tweak Dave's Eu/Ox/Py to do this kind of stuff (I believe
it's called scripting:).
