I just needed to change the title to Wishlist IDE. Maybe someday the right
person reads it  ...
Maybe we need an better IDE now and the structures later ...  (see below !)

This is a feature of the VB IDE, not the language. The IDE looks at the
*type* declaration, and determines what to display. You could add similar
functionality to a Euphoria IDE without having to alter the language, by
associating a list of attributes with a type. For example:

   -- type foo
   constant
      this = 0,
      that = 1,
      the_other = 3

could flag to the IDE that the following type list is associated with the
type 'foo'.

Conversely, if you added structures but didn't change the IDE, you still
wouldn't get that cool dropdown.
