Oh yes that problem... you will notice that I've fixed that in my custom
interpreter; however the code I used wasnt written by me. I suspect Matt will
eventually implement in OOEU too, since he did it with his modified Euphoria v2.4
interpreter. Robert has dishonored his promise to implement that in v2.5 and
instead decided to put it on the "back burner". However I think the PD-source
made up for his broken promises.
