Hi Christion,

Could this eval be used, somehow, to help solve the problem
mentioned here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=loom.20060916T172336-966%40post.gmane.org&forum_name=spirit-general

The reason I mention that is the problem sounds to me
like one of interpreting a string into a program:

Maybe eval could be used to "generate the runtime parser".

However, I really have no idea how to do this since I haven't
even looked at your eval.  I'm just guessing, from just reading
your posts, that *maybe* it could be helpful.

At least it would be a challenging application of eval, AFAICT.

Good luck.
