+Latest Changes: 18 September 2020
+  Compilation improved 10% or so in Release mode by addition of stringmap class to replace std::unordered_map<std::string...> in the codebase
+  Sexy now has packages and modules. A source code tree, with namespaces determined by pathnames can be compiled into a single flat file, and
+  imported into a script with (' #import (<module-name> "namespace")). MHost now packages up its UI code in a single package. Packaging is optimal
+  when the script writer has to handle many script files and wants to avoid micromanaging which script files should be included a product. Sexy is near
+  feature complete - the main TODO item is to allow macros to operate as top-level expression, rather than being limited to function bodies. This will allow
+  Sexy to generate types at run-time, something close to how templates function in C++, but will the improved flexibility of S-macros.

     Minor fixes to code base. Much work done on Rococo.MPlat which is the 3D game library designed to be fully scriptable by Sexy. This includes MHost, for allowing a script complete control of the main loop. I am currently trying to finish my game Hyperverse, a 3D dungeon crawler, which is built on top of MPlat.

     Full referenced counted objects. Sorry chaps, but objects can no longer by created on the stack. Structures are unaffected.
     Many many bug fixes.
     Coroutine libraries allow many routines to co-operatively multitask by yielding execution at safe points.

 Sexy was designed as a games programming language to satisfy all these constraints. In addition a major
 improvement over the design of many OO languages, is that every interface in the language automatically
