Because BASIC lines get tokenized, and because the BASIC ROM is mapped out.
Detokenization needs a lot of code and is made even harder by the fact that
calling routines from the BASIC ROM is difficult.

If I remember correctly, Groepaz had a routine that worked this way, but it
was a lot larger and had the problem that no program could be bigger than the
available RAM with the BASIC ROM mapped in.

All improvements of the existing code are of course highly appreciated.
