I have asked for that in the past also, i found it a great way to make
variable scope
between local and global. Putting the entire nested set of
procedures/functions
in a separate include work somewhat, but can place the global vars from
the original
(i hate this idiotic web interface, scrolling back and forth... ,
inserting <cr> everywhere... i have a 17inch monitor, and am typing in a
little 3x8 box with less text displayed than a 10inch 40column screen...
copy/pasting to a text editor now.... shirt, i had 80-120col on
a C64, grrr...)
out of scope for the include holding the now-non-nested pseudo-pascal-nested
procedures/functions. I think it worked in pascal because every procedure
was a new
"program" and it's var scope extended up to the previous procedure
or program
declaration, whichever came first, plus globals. It was a cheap way
to get around
in segmented memory on a dos box, with all it's 64k psp declarations, which
is prolly why this never evolved in Euphoria with it's flat memory model. It
was a bug fix to get around dos
in pascal, and turned out to be beneficial. It can always be added
as a new feature tho, as you did.
I also asked for merging the best of pascal, mirc, and existing
euphoria,,, 8 years ago? While none of what i had in mind has been added,
other things have been added. Maybe i should have asked for things i
*didn't* need
in
order to get the good stuff?
