• Was thinking more along the lines of adding a ref pointer to variables. Of course this is not footprint friendly, but preserves source.

    Your replacement approach triggered another thought: in dbs, often a local index is built to save space. In code it would be a symbol index to keep the name / preserve the source but having a space to replace it on first run w/ a pointer into variable value space, that holds the value but would also hold also a pointer back to the index entry / name.

    I'm sure you already have though of many things, wandered down alleys... and kept sticking to what Espruino interpreter has come to this day. So no urgency to this.
