Well, sort of.  We often haven't really so much fixed that particular
bug, as we have (for example) written a new parser which doesn't have
the old problem.  It's not like there's a patch to point people at to
apply to 3.3 that will fix the problem.

I don't have a strong feeling; the important thing to me is that the
bugs are no longer open.  If there's a consensus to use FIXED rather
than WONTFIX, that's OK with me.
