For 0.8, I agree, but there are enough things ready that it would be
good to let people try them out now. Once typeclasses have been added,
we're going to have to wait for them to stabilize before releasing
again, which might be a matter of months. Which would probably make it
3-4 months between 0.7 and the next release, which is just a little bit
too long IMHO.

Any other HOs?
