Both.
Because, for example, i got questions like "why would you do that?" with
every lib i submitted! So like in strtok-v2-1.html, i have several one-line
examples, and at the bottom i an example or two on how i have used strtok
in everyday code. Same with the eu-mirc code, "why would you want to run
Euphoria behind mirc?", because mirc is recognised by all the ircd
connection tests and it's a very stable interface between Eu and irc (and you
can http, email, etc with mirc!). If you needed a fast database in your irc
code, mirc wasn't the language to write it in because it's too slow, but
connecting Eu to it made it come to life. Plus, you could shut down the Eu
and leave the mirc connected while you recoded the Eu, saving on irc server
connection floods.
