Please allow circular dependencies. #21

Forbidding circular dependencies makes it very difficult to properly modularize some code. Take, for example, two different components on a HUD that loosely depend on each other's data, but are implemented in two different lslm files. It can be worked around in hackish ways, but that breaks the idea of clean encapsulation.
Since it's all going into the same .lsl output file anyway, is there any particular reason that circular dependencies are disallowed?

Currently modules are implemented in the LSLForge executable, and does not do any circular module detection. A reworking of the compilation process is underway, and this is definitely on the list. A fix will be included in an upcoming release.Comment 2

Not trying to be a pain or anything, but... :)How is this feature coming?
I looked into trying to implement this and send you a patch, but... I am too dumb to grok Haskell, hehe.
Thanks for all the work that you do on this plugin!
