I would not be so sure of that. If I understood correctly, there are
4/5 regressions left to fix.

If we do this, it will be essential to stop all but regression fixes
on 4.4. Otherwise, merging will be just too much of a hassle - right,
Steve?
As well as the memleak patch, which I am not sure what to do with
because there was a divergence between folk wanting more and those
wanting less:-), I am about to return to the whole file compilation,
so that double declarations, interface checking and other good things
can be implemented. Finally, I MUST make a start on the array
descriptor update, as promised.
Cheers
Paul
