Free IDL compatible incremental compiler

GNU Data Language (GDL) is a free IDL (Interactive Data Language) compatible incremental compiler. It has full syntax compatibility with IDL 7.1. IDL is a registered trademark of ITT Visual Information Solutions. From IDL 8.0, the following language elements are supported:

 * FOREACH loop
 * negative array indices
 * garbage collection pointers and objects
 * call methods on an object using "." (e. g. `object.aMemberProcedure,arg1`)

The file input output system is fully implemented. GUI support (widgets) is officially provided, but it's not complete yet.

This package contains the main commandline and interpreter frontend.
