No, sorry. For some reason all zeros as false and anything else as true
seemed like a good idea last night, but it seems pretty indefensible now.
In any event, I was more musing out loud than actually advocating this.
The only thing I'm *actually* suggesting is that some string specific
routines (such as substring) be added to the standard Euphoria library. That
way, people would use them for string operations, instead of the more risky
slices.
