Dear Sir, You Have Built a Compiler

I am afraid to inform you that you have built a compiler. I know you wanted a “simple prototype” that would just add that one feature to your programming model.
What did I just read?

Well, I have actually been there a few times. And recently. It goes like: "Hey, I got this non-specific task for users who somewhat know what to do. They got a pool of data to play with, and when they figure out what they want to do, they can bloody well do it themselves." And one month later, I got a scripting engine that needs to take care of all the foolish stuff the users can dream up. My last iteration of this type, ended up with a solution where the users could write extensions in C# :-D
