What is this EU scripting language you're talking about?
I should be more specific: I was asking about how difficult would it be to
add it to C source code of interpreter to become part of Euphoria language.
Scripted languages usualy have this feature (JavaScript: eval (), VBScript)
and in my opinion this is one of advantages of interpreted (scripting)
languages over compiled languages. I don't know why Eu doesn't have it?
I'm thinking it should be pretty simple, you should just treat it as another
include. Someone with source code?
