RE: Declaring a Function Before it is used
I agree with Mike Nelson.
The reason I got hooked on Euphoria was that I really appreciated it's
combination of power/simplicity/elegance.
By contrast, routine_id seems to me to be a singularly inelegant
construct. I vividly remember the first time I saw it and thought 'Eh?
Why on earth would I want to use that?'. It seems from the list that
this is a fairly common experience.
I don't understand why Rob insists on something so clunky when there is
no real need for it.
