So basically OOEU fulfills your needs and you are uninterested in adding
SS or PBR to the language.

-- rant --
I was hoping that the introduction of open Eu might have allowed
some advances  to what is (lets face it) a toy language.
I make a suggestion for what I think is a powerful and simple feature (SS).
The only response is "You can do some of that with OOEU" - "XYZ's
package does some of that this way" etc. etc. I am starting to
understand that the translation of these responses is "Not Interested, but
heres something else to talk about".
OK, I'll stop.

The other thing I notice is that RC is totally silent. Is he waiting for
unanimity? Will he bless any change at all? Without his input, none of
this means anything at all.
I seem to have forgotten this in my years away from Eu.
