Performance killer ? Hello ?
Its cuts down *all* overhead of a sequence .versus. integer/atom.

If any other person is going to start using such arguments, im going to bang
my head against the wall. Hello? This is EUPHORIA, not C.
Here are a couple of multiple choice questions:

What is most important in making a programming language ?
a) That its a good, practical language
b) That its not C.

Are structures unique to C or were they added to C, because they were so
helpfull in other languages ?
a) True
b) False

Do you have some sort of emotional disorder, which makes you want to compare
everything to C, problaly due to some tragic experience with C ?
a) Yes, thats the reason I can't shut up about C!
b) No, I just make this statement about C, because here on the list
everybody is against C, and this way I'll be liked.
c) No, I dont like structures on itself, and C has got nothing to do with
it.

What letter comes after A and B  in the Alphabet ?
a) G
b) C
c) respectively B and C

Do you actually have some experience programming C which you base your
judgement about C on ? And do you consider C to be the same as a feature 99%
of all languages have: structures or at least so much the same, such an
argument in actually of _any_ (?) meaning in the discussion ?
a) Yes
b) No

-- And no, this is not a flame.
-- This is me getting sharper, when I have to repeat myself, because
everybody keeps starting the discussion up over and over again, *instead* of
going against any arguments given. If this offended any one... oh well.
