The problem with guile is that it has no $ before variable which makes 
it difficult to integrate with shell. I discovered that bash and PHP can 
even coexist!!
But I don't know bash very well so if I'm wrong please e-mail it. Now 
I'm rewriting the parser for easier integrating(thanks Marco). At the 
same time it'll be combined PHP/bash blocks detector
Ambiguos operator I found is do in constuction like
for (...) do
    ..;
    while(...);
Can wcript end here? Is do ...; while (...); PHP or bash I propose 
folowing checking: if after ambiguos do there is operator and then while 
with ; it's PHP because in bash you have to write
while (...)
    do ...
If you really want that while is PHP but do is bash you can write
for (...) do
    ..;;
    while(...);
done;
Other my idea is to introduce #!bash and #!php commands to switch 
languages ex:
#!bash
for (...) do
    ..;
#!php
    while(...);
#!bash
done;
Perhaps also #!auto. But in my realisation they won't restrict using of 
other language but simply set that ambiguos constructions are php or bash.
What do you think about it all?
Please mail any your idea.
