So interesting that it seems to me that you must have the material for a 
paper in one of the Computer Science Journals.  That is one way of 
preventing "bit-rot" and good publicity for octave too.

... as part of the interpreter?  Can you see a way to do that, Jens?  That 
would make a huge difference to octave vis-a-vis the other brand.  Combined 
with a vectorizer....
