Hi Neal,

I would like to ask you for one thing: if you plan any changes in  
syntax (e.g. -> instead of =>), do it now and not at the very end.

I must admit I do not understand the matter here. Is it a problem for  
you to say something like: "ok, I throw away all the old code and  
start now from the scratch... so all my code is based on code under  
GPLv2"? Or, this is not possible?
