A hearty "amen" to that idea! I've spend many frustrating hours
restructuring programs to get around this problem that could have been
solved in a few minutes with forward referencing. Some may argue that
this was just bad planning on my part, which is probably true. Still, it
would be a nice weapon to be able to add to my Euphoria arsenal...even
if it is only used to fix structuring errors on the programmer's part.

Once again, we are in agreement. While pointers can be very useful in
certain instances, I haven't yet found a case where I couldn't work
around it.
