It is good to know, and I didn't, so thanks for passing that on!  I see
they're finally stealing Python's version numbering scheme <wink>.

In other news, I just noticed that REBOL threw 1st-class continuations *out*
of the language, leaving just the "escape up the current call chain"
exception-handling (throw/catch) kind.  This isn't an open project, so it's
hard to second-guess why.  Or easy, depending on how you look at it <wink>.
