[Omake] Releasing 0.9.8.5 off the current 0.9.8.x branch.

[Aleksey Nogin]

Hi,

An update on my TODO:
   - The "foreach" stuff is now fixed
   - A new "MAY want to fix" - [Bug 685] sprintf truncates long strings! 
My initial guess is that the Lm_channel buffering may be wrong; if so, 
it may affect other things besides sprintf...

P.S. In some of the scripts I am writing, with lots of map.foreach and 
similar things, I see that 0.9.8.x is noticeably faster than 0.9.8.4 - 
probably on the order of 20%.
