Hi,

still can't see the purpose of this feature. OTOH expect an eternal trouble when re-implementing.
Even the notion what a variable is at all may differ a lot in languages.

If you define a syntax whose results are uncertain, only work from time to time, to a limited extend, it's better to rely on
native source code.

Best,

Andreas
