I'd like to be able to spec array fields, and to have Eu simply return $null
or "null" or something if it doesn't exist, rather than crashing. One
dimensional sequences are nice, the next step, i think, is to make them
multidimensional in the kernal. Right now i can add sequences to a
predefined sequence, and then search for that nested sequence,,, but once it
gets large enough to be useful to me, the search time is excessive.

I also like this function:
set %net dal
set %flood. [ $+ [ %net ] $+ . $+ [ $remove($address($nick,3),%apost) ] ]
$ctime

will *make* this var:
%flood.dal.!ident at .isp.net 942191823

That's just an example, not something useful,, but that ability to make new
var names and use them is an absolutely great freedom to free-form
programming. I am hoping the next step in that freedom is the ability in
that kernal to find that var by any of these forms, if i want to:

%flood.dal.!ident at .isp.net
%dal.flood.!ident at .isp.net
%!ident at .isp.net.flood.dal
%dal.!ident at .isp.net.flood
etc etc

Nameable timers that accept commands are nice too, and the ability to access
the list of timers and what they are set to do when they fire, etc. Lets see
all that in Eu, please?
