I think it's a wonderful idea to develop a compiler, but maybe you
should just make it rather basic.  I mean floating point arithmetic is
generally unnecessary for the applications written for ZShell, etc.  The
only real application for it is in a math program (and those are best
written in TI-BASIC).  Possibly you should stick to integer arithmetic.
