Don't like this!
need string comparison to access sequence elements (slow)

It would be better to adopt something like c struct as in a previous post.


seqtype address
  sequence first_name
  sequence last_name
  sequence street
  sequence town
end seqtype

then first_name, last_name, etc... would be converted to constant ny the 
parser.


address customer

customer[first_name] = "" -- we keep the [] notation instead of dot notation
                          -- not to forget that in euphoria every is a sequence
