[Omake] Releases and versioning (0.9.8.2, 0.9.8.3, 0.9.9, 0.90.0, ...?)

[Jason Hickey]

Here is a numbering proposal.

There are two major pending works.

    - keyword arguments
    - naming.

Suppose we abandon the strictly <1 numbering convention, allowing  
release numbers 1+.  We could do this:

    0.9.8.2 -> 0.9.9
    0.9.8.x + keyword -> 1.0.0.rc1
    0.9.8.x + keyword + naming (var3), auto, const, dll, etc -> 1.1.0

With the 0.9.9 announcement, we would advertise the 1+ versions also.

    0.9.9.x: bugfixes only (stable)
    1.0.0.x: bugfixes only
    1.1.0.x: development; when stable, released as either 1.2.0 or 2.0.0

It is important to me that these be announced, so that we can get  
feedback _and_ let the community know what is in store.  I can do a  
writeup on the 1+ stuff.
