It's blatantly obvious that any explanation to you would be in vain.

That means changing the filenames of your precious RDS include files.

Because backwards compatability is a detriment to the optimal progress. 
Because the names are _meaningful_ . Because I CHOOSE to.
Because I'm not going to use obscure names, just because you are too 
blind/stubborn to accept the fact that it's perfectly logical to have 2 
files with the same name and different content and/or intent.

I DID name my files properly..
I use include statements such as std/util/file.e
and rds/file.e

The fact that RDS is too stupid to realize that it is a very useful 
functionality, will be YOUR problem when Euphoria is fumbling with hack 
solutions, and you have no choice but to live with it or pick up a new 
language. You can rename all your files, I won't. That is perposterous.
