I doubt i would use that exact line anywhere, but i would
DEFINATELY use this:

sequence of char

which would limit ANY element in this sequence to
a whole number between 0 and 255, or hex #00 to #FF.

I'd welcome this in a heartbeat, because from then on
i'd be able to store text in single bytes with the same
ease that i store anything else (usually) when using
Euphoria.  Presently, for every character stored there
are four bytes used.

On the other hand, if it was going to slow storing and
retrieving down too much i would not like this 
I think as a min i would look for not less then 0.5 times
the speed it is now, although it really is app dependent.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
