BIND automatically "renames" collading identifiers. The problem is that
routine_id() uses a string... that is NOT renamed (can't be, you can
build that string programatically). If you use routine_id() in your code
BIND oblies you to use the -clear_routines to preserve function/
procedure names (by default they get obfuscated) because of the
same reason.

I wish Euphoria 2.1 has a better namespace mechanism or a smarter
routine_id() interface (or a ultra-inteligent bind utility).
