It doesn't make any noticeable difference. Although a single

multi-line comment (/* ... */) (comments checking is done in
the lexer).

This doesn't make much difference.... its an interpreted language,
and the only speed loss I can think about is the initialization of
another pool to store local variables.

I don't know for sure but I wonder if functions are saved in
the form of special tokens which don't need rechecking
for syntax once compiled... Zeev?

Thanks.
