A couple other changes that don't show up with just a survey of class
libraries:
1) The new ::CONSTANT directive
2) The new LIBRARY keyword on the ::REQUIRES directive.
3) The EXTERNAL option on ::ROUTINE to allow you to declare routines
as residing in a native library
4) The new object oriented APIs
5) Multiple references to ::REQUIRES files will resolve to just a
single loaded instance of the file rather than
reloading the file for each reference.
6) The steam class supports files larger than 4GB.
