Hey, Derek, I figure you or Matt (or any of the leet Euphoria programmers out
there!) could resolve this with a little bit o' code in the interpreter,
couldn't you? :)
How much would it take to put this in Euphoria: that it also checks the
containing directory of the included file? Why wouldn't that be seen as a
good thing? Rob?
I can tell you why it's necessary: CGI programming.
Also, usability (and ease-of-use), and development simplicity.
Unless there's a better way. But I don't see it, and I checked the forums
and saw Derek's suggestion for using the ^ symbol to indicate an include
file is to be found relative to the including file's home directory. But
that wouldn't affect using open() from an included file that's in a
subdirectory, would it?
Anyway, to whomever: make it so. Pretty please. :)
