        It seems to me it would make more sense if Euphoria did check the
current dir
of any file with an include statement when executing the include as well
as the default
dirs.
        It would simplify project management for those with bigger projects.
expecially
since it's the big project people that are being incouraged to register.

        I am glad to hear about all the speedups. expecially in the calling
overhead.
I'm the type that defines every seperate possible idea that could be a
reusable piece of
code as seperate routine. The OOPS heavy types will like it too (though
I think OOP is
way overblown and way overdone, some of the ideas are good, others in
oop make for more
complication and overhead where it's not need, well documented code,
well designed, will
do the job as well if not better in many cases)
