Yes.

Here's a list of things which were at one time suggested for 0.8
but which haven't been done yet and which I don't think are worth
holding up the release for:

	- changing the default on Linux to use shared libraries

	- making the runtime namespace-clean

	- fixing the bug with quantification being done after
	  various transformations such as expansion of `<=>',
	  rather than before them

These issues can be addressed in a future release.  These are all still
worth doing but I think it's more important to get the release out.
