Where odes this quote come from, it seems I missed a message.

I was, of course, completely unaware of that. I would be interested with more technical details if you could provide me some links. And, just for memory, forcing execution at some explicit point is not my goal, but just a possible mean I considered to bypass the lake of a "keyword" reserved-keyword-command, similar to `command` and `builtin`. Implenting such a thing wouldn't require de abandon the separation of parse and execution, would it? Cheers --------------CF41BFA7C4EC175727D33A08--
