Namespaces, etc.

Rob,

You have a good, workable namespace proposal--its suits my needs perfectly.

Perhaps at some point (maybe Eu 2.4?) a file group concept could be
implemented in a more Euphorian way than raw includes.

Two ideas I'd personally like for Eu 2.3:

1.  Make it legal to call a function as a procedure--this would eliminate
the need for most dummy variables but not break existing code.  A
supressible warning could be issued.

2.  (Especially if the above is not implemented) Predefine a trashcan
variable in the interperter.  For example VOID as  Object Euphoria uses
globally and Win32Lib uses locally.
VOID would only be legal as the target of an assignment, any other use would
be an error. I particularly like VOID as it reminds those of us who know C
of the void return type and also suggest sending the value "off into the
void", or to "The Great Bit Bucket In The Sky".
