Touch ups.

Rev: CHANGES:1.132

23:    for how the range bounds are specified. For compatibility, if there    is no `[..] then `[] is still called for range operations.    -  FIXME: Describe relation with Pike.INDEX_FROM_BEG/END & OPEN_BOUND. +  The `[..] callback will get four arguments, start value, start type, +  end value and end type. The type arguments is any of +  Pike.INDEX_FROM_BEG, Pike.INDEX_FROM_END or Pike.OPEN_BOUND. Here +  are a few examples of what input arguments different calls would +  generate.    -  +  [..] 0 OPEN_BOUND 0 OPEN_BOUND +  [1..] 1 INDEX_FROM_BEG 0 OPEN_BOUND +  [..2] 0 OPEN_BOUND 2 INDEX_FROM_BEG +  [3..4] 3 INDEX_FROM_BEG 4 INDEX_FROM_BEG +  [<5..] 5 INDEX_FROM_END 0 OPEN_BOUND +  [6..<7] 6 INDEX_FROM_BEG 7 INDEX_FROM_END +    o Generalized this and this_program.       It is now possible to refer to inherits in objects. Example:
158:   o The keyword protected       The modifier protected is now an alias for the modifier static. -  NOTE: In next release static will be deprecated. +  NOTE: In the next release static will be deprecated.      o extern declared variables   
185:    mixed fun(__deprecated__(mixed) obsolete_arg);    __deprecated__(mixed) obsolete_variable;    +  +  __attribute__(deprecated)    FIXME: syntax for __attribute__      o __func__
197:       error("Error in " __func__ ".\n");    - o __dir__ + o __DIR__    -  FIXME +  __DIR__ is a new preprocessor symbol that resolves to the directory +  that the current file is placed in. Similar to how __FILE__ points +  out the file the code is placed in.      o #pragma {no_,}deprecation_warnings   
212:       #pragma deprecation_warnings    - o 7.4::blaha FIXME + o Compatibility name spaces    - o Iterator->next() no longer optional. FIXME +  Older versions of a function can be reached through its version name +  space. For example the 7.4 version of the hash function can be +  called through 7.4::hash().    -  + o Iterator API    -  +  The iterator API method Iterator->next() is no longer optional. +  FIXME: Compatibility implications? +  +    Extensions and New Functions   ----------------------------   
266:    --with-portable-bytecode is now the default. Pike programs that have    been dumped on one architecture now can be decoded on another.    - o sscanf %H %[^-X] (!= %[^X-]) %[X-X] FIXME + o sscanf %[^-X] (!= %[^X-]) %[X-X] FIXME      o gethrtime, gethrvtime, gauge   
347:      o CompilerEnvironment & CompilerEnvironment()->PikeCompiler    -  The Pike compiler has been refactored to be more object-oriented -  and more transparent. It is now possible to customize the compiler -  by overloading functions in the above two classes. +  The Pike compiler has been refactored to be more object-oriented and +  more transparent. It is now possible to customize the compiler by +  overloading functions in the above two classes. The compiler object +  used by Pike internally is available through +  DefaultCompilerEnvironment.      o Debug   
357:    objects existing within the Pike process. Useful when trying to    pinpoint a leak of Pike objects.    - o DefaultCompilerEnvironment -  -  The CompilerEnvironment object used by Pike internally. -  +    o Error       The new function mkerror() will normalize any thrown value into a
