44 - When evaluating constants for script variables, some functions could work:

46 eval_variable(). Should pass the ".xxx" that follows and return that.
47 - Make "++nr" work. "++g:count" doesn't work, thinks it is a range.

65 function, g: functions can be defined and script-local functions cannot be
66 defined.
67 - Make debugging work - at least per function. Need to recompile a function
68 to step through it line-by-line? Evaluate the stack and variables on the
