That should be the easy part -- I'll do it as soon as I'm home.

This brings up a painful point -- the reason I haven't wrote the default
is because it was way much easier to write it in Python. Of course, I
shouldn't be preaching Python-is-easier-to-write-then-C here, but it
pains me Python cannot be written with more Python and less C.
A while ago we started talking about the mini-interpreter idea, which
would then freeze Python code into itself, and then it sort of died out.
What have become of it?
