Now, all the name space discussion has started again, I would like to lobby
for this approach to the named 'problem' ...

       -    No new syntax, however, most recent included (again) file
algorithm in the parser would be nice and sufficient. No need for anything
more drastically for those 0.001 % of situations where it's *cleaner* ..
       -    Add (built-in or not) routines that offer dynamical include
files. This dynamic approach should allow for the more powerfull usages of
include files. Such as mixing include files, alter the code, calling
routines with error trapping, etc.

It has the following advantages:

      - no new syntax == simpler
      - full run time control (very powerfull)
      - takes the  new compiler into account (dynamically included routines
are off course never compiled, but always interpreted)

Robert, have you considered this approach and if so, what do you see as the
cons/pros of this approach ?

Greetings,
         Ralf.
