Great; I look forward to having a go with it, three things, before final
release -

1) Bind - Is really useful to pass .EXE files on to others who don't use
Euphoria and are loathe to install the interpretor because of the usual
prejudices about a non-familiar language.  Whilst I can see the
commercial sense in restricting the use of Bind to registered users, I
feel this is a retrograde step.

2) Can we add "$" as a valid [non-first] character for identifiers
please - Now that *must* be easy as the character isn't used for any
other specific purpose in the language !

3) Can we allow "//" as well as "--" ( and perhaps even ";" ) to
indicate the start of comments; this would help me ( at least ) when
swapping and changing between languages ( Java = //, JavaScript = //, C
= //, C++ = //, Euphoria = -- ).

Other than that, keep up the good work.
