BIG SNIP--------


Hans, no-one in this forum has said they're not interested. So it seems that
the
programmers at least can't wait our hands on it. Roll it on. Let's not
include
outdated opcodes except where they provide extra value; they will still be
supported in the C spec, after all. One thing I would ask is that you allow
C
and CF specs to be mixed at will. Although it'll look ghastly and ruin the
indenting we all want, it will make the switch-over easier and allow its
gradual
adoption. Good programmers won't mix the specs ad lib, of course, but they
should always have the option to slide a block of C or CF specs in anywhere.
