rc uses a 1 pass compiler with limited backpatching. it may be difficult, or at least inelegant, to implement add-hoc variable locals with the current compilation strategy. especially in the face of notes. sure, you could implement the language a different way, but rc is structurally so cool, it wouldn't feel like rc without the virtual machine. at least to me. - erik
