 Has anyone given any thought as to whether Parrot should support

And remember that Safe is built on ops (ops.pm etc) and ops is very
useful in it's own right (eg for allowing limited perl ops in a config file).

And our safe interpreter will use the same sort of mechanism. (Though 
you won't necessarily be able to do that from within a safe 
interpreter. Some stuff won't be overridable, but that's fine.

Any idea what of this will become 0.0.4?

Is there any chance someone (simon) could make a TODO_FIRST [1], which contains
the goals for our next point release.  I'm far too lazy to search through
mailing list archives to find it every time I want it.

[1] or TODO_NOW or TO_REALLY_DO or JFDI or something.

Perhaps a target version for each item?

 Oh, bother. This is the second time I've been asked about this, so I
 suspect that my goals for the forthcoming releases aren't amazingly
 clear.

Or perhaps people lose track of your last pronouncement over time.
Rather than periodically resending it to the list, might I suggest
checking it into CVS? TODO sounds like a nice filename for it. :-)

 More instructions needed!

Register my vote for some introductory documentation. docs/jit.pod is
good for someone who already knows how the JIT works, but I'd like
something for idiots like me who just want to know what we can expect
to work. To me, the -j flag means go really fast. Or just hang. Or
maybe crash, and I don't know when to expect which.
