Robert Craig,

This has probably been asked before, but...

With all the recent talk on the mailing list about OOP, and the several (4
or 5) independent OOP libraries curently available or under development
(and all different), are you ever going to add OOP to the official release
of Euphoria? OOP that is part of the core language, not an add on library?
