Rob:
   Why is it so difficult for Euphoria to return the address of a
   variable ?

   Since we can not pass a variable by reference; this would give
   the programmer a way to access a variable inside a procedure
   or function.
   It would not have to be any more than a simple function that
   returned a memory address of a given variable.
   If the variable is not available then it would return -1

   If swapping out of memory is a problem then you could have the
   programmer declare them as special locked variables.
