0. Document semantics of assignment and parameter passing
clearly in the manpage. I *think* we're doing deep copy
except of pointers these days, no?
1. Document changed type semantics (auto-demotion) in
the manpage.
2. Document the scope of names and the new declaration and
definition rules, including forward type and function
decls, in the manpage.
3. Add max/min operators. (My suggestion is _>_ and _<_, but
I'm open to alternatives.)
4. Add a reference operator, for typechecking
and convenience. (My suggestion was && but
on reflection I don't like that. &_ ? Would establish
a pattern. Could change exponentiation again to _^_ and
eliminate the next item.)
5. Hack the grammar to allow **int to be parsed correctly.
6. Get Debian source and binary packages to auto-build
correctly, set up apt-able deb archive.
7. Add my sprintf() code.
I'll try to find a student.
