Jason,

Here is a quick update on my "TODO" for the 0.9.8.5.

MUST fix:
  - The Array.foreach and Map.foreach functions drop their exports on 
the floor (see test/object/Test3 and test/object/Test4). If left 
unfixed, this will break a lot of osh scripts!

SHOULD fix:
  - [Bug 682] Variable assignments and function returns force evaluation 
of .STATIC and .MEMO variables. Variable assignments also force 
evaluation of the lazy values. See test/memo/Test4
  - The :key: dependencies and .MEMO sections need to be documented

MAY want to fix:
  - Use the .STATIC and .MEMO sections in the configure functions 
(depends somewhat on Bug 682)
  - [Bug 683] Should awk set the FILENAME and FNR variables?


Are you around? Would you be willing to help with any of those?
  - I need the most help with Bug 682 - it will probably take me forever 
to figure that one on my own.
  - With 683, I would like to get some feedback from you on whether you 
think it's a good idea - I should be able to implement it myself.
  - Documenting :key: and .MEMO - I can do that, but you would probably 
do it better ;-).
  - The Array.foreach and Map.foreach - I expect to be able to fix those 
myself.
  - Adding .STATIC and .MEMO sections to configure functions - I already 
have a patch, but waiting on 682 before committing.

Thanks!

Aleksey
