Dad? Are we there yet?

@ruv All the source-path and source-base-path et al. have gone through a fair bit of revs and you have the proposal. I think the discussions went on rather long (and you seemed to be busy else where) that some action items might have been overlooked. Are you satisfied with current support or do you still have wish items?

If there is no more movement on the above, then there are a couple of enhancement issues I'll probably look at:

• Locals - while I'm not found of locals, supporting them means being able to more easily port 3rd party code. I had started work on this when it was interrupted for all the source-path stuff.

• Reporting errors within INCLUDE files. maybe revisit this to see if it can be solved easily. Given how exceptions work, reporting errors within nested sources gets tricky, maybe only certain exception codes warrant some sort of pass-through CATCH-THROW (compiler related errors, SIGSEGV, others?). I have to review it yet again. It might not be worth it or just a mess to solve.

• Look into implementing Recognisers.. I know you like the idea of recognisers, but I'm not sure Post4 is there yet. I'd like to reach a 1.0 release first before I start re-arranging the internal guts and changing the world.

• You also mentioned you wanted to play with the Jave JNI stuff, which works and has a few basic examples of how to access packages etc. Is there anything there to be added to make this more useful?

• Maybe a multi-threaded example of using two or more interpreter contexts in a POSIX threaded application. Think might need some message passing words between threads, similar to Erlang, to make this useful.

Other readers of this please fell free to comment.

Anthony, hi! Sorry, I was very busy. I will comment later on this week. 🤗

No rush. Really. I have other things to address too - help prepare for IOCCC28, clean the apt. (again), give puppy a bath (again), bake some cookies, plan something nice for lunch, find a new job (how I hate Indeed and Monster and inane job descriptions written by lifeless HR drones (who needs AI when you have HR)) - you know, the usual stuff.
