These dynamic contexts are something dangerous,
one step and you may have a selfmodified proggy,
which lives as it wants and even kills whom it sees.
Remember The Matrix movie. I personally do not
want to fight selfmodified EU Smith-bugs in my
local net. For now local 
So, in 2.5 we may have more pure Euphoria
philosophi -- [define then use]
may be [define, check, use] now.
You'll must divide your dynamic context onto
more clear sequential modules in 2.5.

Yes, we, all dynamic lovers, are dividing our contexts
onto modules just now. Me, Al, next one is unknown for now.

Yes, I think, programming never was simple.
It is just something ape-like in VB - click&drag&drop.
But this is illusion of simplicity - VB doesn't work
on DOS32, Linux, FreeBSD as Euphoria works.
VB is MS' "agent Smith", isn't it?

This is not a trick, I think, Rob is working as bee.
It is a good work.

Good Luck all EU coders!
