Hi Everyone,

Firstly, thank you Robert for the 2.3 release. 

Now for the future.

I think that when we submit requests for changes to the Euphoria language, we
need to have answers
for,at least, these questions :

1) What problems is the new feature trying to solve?

2) What impact will it have on existing source code?

3) What impact will it have on RDS's Euphoria Interpreter?

4) How does it align with the Euphoria's primary requirements?

5) How costly will it be to implement?

Once when can answer these, then I think we can have informed debate on a new
feature's
justification. However, finding answers to all these questions will probably be
difficult. In
particular, #3, 4, and 5, depend on information that comes from RDS. I, for one,
am not 100% sure of
what are Euphoria's primary requirements. I suspect that minimulism, speed,
size, and platform
choice have a part, but what I'd really like, Robert, is to see them clearly
stated and published
under the RDS banner.

Does any of this make sense to anyone else?

I have a whole suite of suggestions for the language, but after having
considered the above
questions, I need to re-evaluate my list. 

---------
cheers,
Derek.
