What did you done with the semantical differences regarding missing
variables? (I suppose you don't print $noSuchThing (literarily; that's
how it works in VM) for $noSuchThing.) With the more loose boolean
logic (e.g. #if $noSuchThing)? And with the interpolation semantic? As
you know, VM uses toString(), while we are using localized format by
default... that can cause 1234 to become 1,234 and like, that can be a
problem. Oh, and the horror of horrors... with assignments? You know,
when #set(x = $noSuchThing) just does nothing. Ugh... it would feel
perverted to emulate this. :)
