no - erl_scan/erl_eval would pollute the atom table. Though I can of
limit the number of variables and such stuff, but I didn't wanted to do
that too much.
Limiting the number of functions is a bit better, because the number of
functions that one needs to do some useful stuff should be much lower
than the number of variables ...

As I wanted to be able to exchange the backend anyway, I know think I
implement both approaches I favorize: targetting Core Erlang and a
simple interpreter.
