"Interpreter" ... but not the translator.

For the translator, yes.

We could just say that 'execute()' is not supported by the translator, but
RC has already gone on record saying that he doesn't like that idea.
(iirc anyways).

I haven't looked at your code yet ... but I will.

It should be noted that it is possible (in fact, relatively easy) to use
eu.ex itself for this ... someone has already done so iirc. Futhermore,
I was trying to figure out how to modify eu.ex to support eval() ....
its not too copmlicated with the way eu.ex parses code. If eu.ex can do
it, then surely the interpreter can.
