I have modified the source to provide:
1) Variable initialization.
2) String-aware '?' operator
3) Slicing shorthands.
4) Pass by reference.
Next up:  structures (sequences with named elements)
 and dot-notation.

sequence test1 = "abc", test2 = "zot"

procedure swp (sequence s, sequence t)
	object x
	x = s[2]
	s[2] = t[2]
	t[2] = x
end procedure

foo (!!test1, !!test2) -- '!!' invokes pass-by-reference
?test1			-- prints "aoc"
?test2			-- prints "zbt"
?test2[2..]		-- prints "bt"
