Speaking only for myself, I'm much more comfortable with the changes
for 2.3 as compared to earlier releases.  I still don't know about
metaobjects, nor the nuances of deriving from types, or the new
getattribute bits.  I haven't yet had a project where I could experiment
with them and figure them out.

Compare that to my read of AMK's "What's New in 2.3."  I understood
most everything it talked about and very much enjoyed what you all
have been doing for this release.

Then again, I was one of the "expand and improve the modules"
rather than "expand the language" camp when this issue came up
years ago.
