EXTERNAL SUB-PROCEDURE

Created by: Lartu

Hello there, @dvkt! Yesterday I added EXTERNAL SUB-PROCEDURE to the language. Essentially it's a way to declare functions that have been forward declared in C++, so I can call LDPL functions from C++.

So in C++ I can, for example, do this:

LDPL_SUBPROCEDURE();

void myFunction(){
  LDPL_VAR = 18;
  LDPL_SUBPROCEDURE();
}

And in LDPL I do:

data:
ldpl-var is external number

procedure:
external sub-procedure ldpl/subprocedure
  display "My number is " ldpl-var
end sub-procedure

I want to know what do you think about this. I made an IRC bot library for LDPL that I'll be uploading today and I needed this for that to work.
