 - No ";" for line termination. New commands must be processed in a new line,
   not like in bash where you can do df; df; But you can do df; df;. :)
 - Something like printf and date formatation must exist.
 - Can be used inside ''; Like echo 'x "y" z'. ' has higher priority.
 - Intendation would be nice if would be fixed on 2 whitespaces. No tabs!
 - Internals like range() must not be redefined!
 - Functions and variables can not have the same name! If a function with name
   foo() exists, you can not asign a avlue to foo = value.
 - Strings must be initialized with the type they are and can not be missused.
   If a string is 1 you need to cast it to num to become a new type.
 - Strings are always qouted wit "" but can be qouted with '' too, but then you
   can use "" inside the string. ' can be used in the string too, but it than
   must be escaped with \.
 - Not Git based includes like in Go! No way! All dependencies MUST be managed
   inside the fun projects code base.
 - Global variables can not be redefined somwhere in the code. So defining a
   variable in a function that exist globally would overwrite the memory of the
   global variable. Local variables SHOULD be prefixed with _ or some other
   prefix and named to be unique. If you have a global variable i in a file you
   can not use i in that file anymore. If you try to define a global variable
   in your code, that is defined already in a library as a global var,
   execution will fail. So, keep the use of globals vars very very limited!

// Includes from a system installed file. Included libs should support the
// extension .so and the .fun extension for core libraries implemented in fun,
// but can be included without the extension. This directory must support
// subdirectories. The root for this diretory is e.g. /var/lib/fun/. A file
// named fun.so and fun.fun can reside here, but the .fun file will be included
// here; The .fun file can then include a .so file with the same name, but then
// extension .so is required.
// Some examples:
#include crypt/md5
#include crypt/sha256
#include date
#include math
// Files can be included with or without the extension.
