I propose that Pascal be put into 4.0, and after that works, then we 
consider what is next.  Personally I wouldn't mind seeing it in 4.0, 
assuming you don't need large or complex or destabilizing or dangerous 
or gross changes to the non-gcc/gpc files; otherwise 4.1.

This is just how we do engineering work, first, fix mainline, then, if 
important enough and safe enough, then fix older release branches.
