Sounds plausible, given that the comment was signed by Thorsten.

Well, there /are/ plans (somewhere deep in one of my drawers... wait, I
think it should be here... hmm... well, never mind, I'll eventually find
them...) to migrate the user-defined functions to a portable
well-established 3rd party VM, ideally one providing JITC functionality
on the most important platforms (read: LLVM)... some day, anyway.

First I gotta get this *%&$ parser ready for public testing of the new
scanner/tokenizer, and beat out the dents I've made in the process.
