Is this in an issue somewhere?  If not please make it so.
Can you set
the milestone to 1.4?  Geir, was this approved for
inclusion?  What
further revision does it need?
No, it is no issue nowhere. I could add it (waiting for the
reactions). The code runs 100% ok (as far as I tested it),
UnitTests
are included in the patch. What could / should be done is
performance-improvements. Until now every Number-Operation is done
using BigDecimal / BigInteger since that made the patch very simple
and correct (handling with overflows and precision changes)
and I just
wanted to start the development on that
point (number-support). The improvements are quite easy to
do, though.
The last thing I heard from Geir (who actually encouraged
me to provide
the patch) that he wants to include full number support.
But I guess I
might trust my memory these days :)



I have another note in the queue - I'm sitting here in
Heathrow waiting
for another plane, so this won't get out until later, but I think we
shouldn't throw in 1.4, but rather put in 1.5, because 1.4 has a nice
introspector change, among other things, and should go out.
Sound reasonable - again :)
On a plane again, this time back to LHR.  Hoping that my suitcase is in 
the bag below me.  it wasn't on the way out :(

I guess I'd like to make sure that Dan is happy, and then we should 
shove 1.3.1 out, et al...
