When is it time for a 1.0 feature freeze?

[Stewart Gordon]

Among the many as-yet-unfulfilled prerequisites for being ready for 1.0 
is coming to a final decision on the feature set.

On releasing 0.93, Walter stated:

"Barring a very, very, compelling case, this is it for 1.0 language 
features.  There are a lot more things I want to do, but this has got to 
be enough for 1.0."

However, there have been lots of new features since then.  And as new 
features are added, it opens the door to more bugs and more 
imperfections in the spec.

I think that sometime soon, we should finally make it more firm that 
"this is it for 1.0 language features".  Once this is done, then we can 
finally concentrate more on fixing compiler bugs and getting the spec up 
to scratch (both cleaning up spelling/grammar and cleaning up what is 
ill-defined) without having to worry too much about creating even more 
work for ourselves in the process.
