What changes did you have in mind? When I played with it, it was 
mostly using the C-like subset, but I still think it was worth it 
because bits like operator overloading and slicing are really 
convenient.

What I've wanted before is better ability to remove dependency on 
stuff like moduleinfo. Though that isn't a big deal on something 
like x86 where an extra 30 KB is fine, I think it would be really 
important on something like a arduino. (Which I intend to play 
with - finally have one here - but haven't gotten around to yet.)
