And yet, this was disappointing: none of what I wanted to do was implemented in pugs.

Yea that is a pretty normal issue. On the other hand, if its lacking in pugs you can always work on getting it implemented. I've done that with a couple of things, and written tests to help push development of yet other things. I too wanted to eval the RPN as it was evaluated, but that just wasn't in the cards....yet. It will be cool when this is all finished. I know it often feels like pugs isn't actualy getting anywhere, but in the 6 months i've been following it, there have been huge steps forward and there are some very exciting things happening now that promise to bring it even farther in the next six months. Thanks for the alternate solution, i'm thinking about some combination of the two but i think i need something more interesting than RPN to work on now!

Please post any ideas for other examples to add to the example directory!
