porting a script that supports barewords to something that doesn't....
string up = "up", down = "down";
if(position === up)
its all well and good until you find someone copyies and pwastes that to have in every function
string up = "up", down = "down";
if(position === up)
string up = "up", down = "down";
if(position === up)
string up = "up", down = "down";
if(position === up)
then imagine a much larger dictionary. Also there was a spelling mistake, several in fact.
also who rewrote the parser to try to support keywords as variables?
