I wish I could just take my own path and start right from scratch, but that's
not going to happen. I've tried already with my empire libs.
How do you propose to convince people to actually use a library that is entirely
incompatible with existing code for Euphoria and uses obfuscated names, just so
that it doesn't conflict with the RDS libs, eventhough they should never be used
in conjunction?
Yet again, my plans to reorganize the RDS libs _would not be incompatible_.
Yes they will break compatability, but I will be providing a way for them to be
compatible. What's the problem with that?
