Re: Forward referencing

I believe that the bug referenced only applied to routine_id() calls, not
forward referencing in general.

Enabling code like this:

function Func1( integer i )
return call_func( routine_id("Func2"), {2} ) -- "Func2" not resolved until
    called
end function

function Func2( integer i )
    return i * 2
end function

I support this bug/feature for routine_id, not for general forward referencing.
I've heard that it would have helped writing Win32lib greatly.
