sounds good, but OOP would fix the problem too ;) it'd be nice, wouldn't 
it? we could have code like:

class aclass
  integer i
end class

aclass a = new aclass()
integer j
j=1
a.i=j

the good thing is we can mix non-OOP code and OOP code. in java, there 
are the simple integer types(though we could widen the category to 
"simple types" so it would include sequences) and object types(like 
their wrapper classes).

another thing would be to add a built-in euphoria_version() function 
that returns a floating-point number. the next version of euphoria could 
have a euphoria_version that returns 2.3.

and one more thing. you used gcc to compile Euphoria for x86 linux 
right? maybe if you got hold of a mac(or a mac emulator and an illegal 
mac ROM ;) and a mac linux distro, you could compile it for 68k and PPC 
macintoshes. i mean, surely a company no matter how small can afford 20 
to 50 $US...unless it's one of those little garage things :)
