So you have a full parser, where you un-nest nested function(procedure(var1,
var2), var3, function(var4,var5)) ? Ok, can you compare that sequence
executing natively, to the time it takes to exec in your interpreter? How do
you pre-parse and know the routine_id()s in the program that actually runs
the p-code?

The assignment of the subsequence to a new var isn't bi-directional. I can do
the assign for reading from the "with" var, but changes made to the "with" var
are not made to the original BIG var unless i specifically reassign the "with"
var into it. Which is easy enough to do.
