It'd be questions asked when FreeCard is compiled. You (obviosuly)
can't use FreeScript or FreeCard when compiling them, so it won't be
done in FreeCard.

Depending on how long it takes to get 1.0 out once we have an
Interpreter, it might even make it into FreeCard 1.

I have no problem with adding this to the Interpreter. A cinch, really.
