Hmmm... I hadn't thought of streaming it with a stack. I think it'd
have to go in the application.

Alain, if you can pull that off, I'll be shocked. But if you do,
consider yourself drafted to the Intepreter team. [By the time you're
done, I think NuParser will certainly be].
Alain, you do understand that you will be building a parser and an
intepreter or (probably) compiler of sorts to do this?
You probably don't understand what converting a HC stack entails.
You'll find out soon enough. Before you get too deep into it, do
consider converting scripts.
