  The current SDL parser is a very direct interpreter: It immediately acts
upon the commands it parses, without converting nor saving them anywhere.

  (The only exception are the user-defined functions, which use their own
separate parser and interpreter which works quite differently. There might
have been some obscure trick to get the byte-compiled functions printed,
but I don't remember at all how it might have been done... :P )
