Well, you can't determine the type that an 'object' will be until runtime:

   object o
   ...
   x( o )

The interpreter is at a loss how to link this until runtime. Adding late
binding would be a major change for Euphoria. And if you disallowed object
in parameter lists, you'd break a *lot* of code.
