Last night I created a static (it acts like Math) System object and bound it to DMDScript.  I threw the following functions into it:

System.exit
version(console){
System.printLine
System.print
System.readLine
System.read
System.environment
System.command
}

I versioned off most of it so that people have the option to disable the features.  They are too powerful for some browser/embedded uses after all.  :p

I also figured out exactly what DMDScript's testscript.d was doing.  I moved that to console.d and thought about what to do with the arguments.  Currently, it's designed to handle batch processesing with includes.  That may be very useful for some people, and it's exactly how wscript/cscript manage their command line arguments.  Since DMDScript is very close to being a stand-in for JScript I thought it best not to ruin that.

Instead, I named yet another version() feature into the console - one that makes it only process one script, and passes all the remaining arguments to the Global arguments[].

I had to remove some of my old string manipulating assembler because I found an obscure bug that I didn't feel like trying to understand.  I also streamlined the sieve.ds to run about 15% faster.  :)

I'll post up changes tonight once I've tested it (I'm gonna bombard it with about 40 of my scripts and see how it cries - I use every feature in the language *and some* somewhere in those scripts).

I'll look over the posts lately and see if there was anything I missed (apart
from the Proxy bug)

As an idea:

I did Stream object and its
stdout/stdin/stderr instances as members of Global scope:

Also:
VM can be parametrized by host implementation of stdout/stdin/stderr
So host can send data to script  and script can output data through
its stdout to host. Pretty convenient.

I also support << and >> operators for Streams. I have no goals to support JavaScript from A to Z so it works.
