 That's a very poor solution, I'd like to have a Java method, with
parameters, type checking... I don't want to go back to the old BASIC days
when one had to rely on well known names of variables to pass arguments with
the GOSUB.. =)

 It's amazing for me to see such a huge flaw in the standard. I will hack
gnujsp to implement something (as I've already hacked it to support a
preprocessor.. =)).
