I'd say we should have it be a 'let the dust settle' for a few days
only.  We don't have the resources to keep multiple series in
parallel, so I'd rather:

- just wait for a few days for a 0.9.2 that accumulates any more
bloopers we spot, plus *small*, well-contained features.  Yours
qualifies as such, certainly.

- Cut the release next week or so, with all changes properly reviewed.

- Move into the 0.10 mode as soon as feasible.

I don't have the bandwidth to worry about 0.9.x and 0.10 in parallel,
but I have no objections to anyone who's willing to spend time on
both.  That's why I suggest staggering them so we focus on one at a
time (we're a pretty small team in any case).

Cheers,
