Binding selectively

Robert, I wanne bind selectively.
That means, a shrouded or binded program that contains all files except for
example a highscore file or a settings file. Example:

-- config.e

global constant VIDEO_MODE  = 19
global constant SOUNDBLASTER = { #220, 5, 0 }
global constant SPEED = 10023
etc.

-- this file should be in the directory with the binded program

Then a setup program or something can be written in a later stage, that
provides an interface to the file.
Also updatable data can be distributed easily with this.

Also I would like (but less important) to be able to run an Euphoria program
from a binded program without the need of another ex.exe
It would also be more efficiently if the code of ex.exe doesn't have to be
in memory twice, and then the second time it is started it doens't need to
initialize, which takes quite some time for something you wanne run a couple
of times..

(a change directory clone in Euphoria would be *slow* how weird it may
sound..)

And again... provide support for LOCAL trace and type checking ..

with trace                -- Only works in this file, but overrides the
global setting
global with trace    -- Works in all files, untill a local is set for that
file, or a global is set anywhere..

Too many times, I wanne turn warnings off and on, without interfering with
the program that might include my file!
It gets really frustrated, a feeling I don't wanne have using Euphoria.
