Because it MIGHT allow some of us to make improvements in the human-
written side, for adding things like case, goto, repeat-until, inline, string
execution, namespacing, local includes (Bach's import), and threading (or
maybe something else like Al Getz's windows server), associated lists (like
Jiri's, or the hash() in Bach), or just whatever other function Eu lacks that
you
need! If a change i make is written in Eu, and a change you make is written
in Eu, merging the changes is much easier. The output code is still
compatable with the execution unit.
