The Translator is 100% Euphoria.
Interpreter #1 is 100% Euphoria.
Interpreter #2 will be about 30% Euphoria, 70% C.

I'll Translate the front-end Euphoria code to C,
and link it with the C-coded interpreter back-end
to make an interpreter .exe file. The IL will be passed
from front-end to back-end via memory.

We won't be tied to 2.4 at all.
I'm free to implement new Euphoria language features,
and once they are stable, I can use those
new features internally in the translator and
interpreter, if I want.
