quiet progress to a new milestone

[Aaron J. Seigo]

Hi ...

I've been quietly plonking away on the documentation/specification and it is 
now at a rather exciting milestone. First.. what's new: Kevin contributed a 
test framework concept based on discussions we had when he visited the other 
month. I also sketched in documentation for pattern matching, comprehensions, 
errors and fleshed out operators and types a bit (though both still have 
holes). The description of the documentation system and orchestration 
(something that will only come much later..) are still missing, but the broad 
strokes are there.

Enough to give me a very good feel for the language already. Which means it is 
time to start writing code and get that iterative process happening which will 
give us code to kick around and either prove or show what needs changing in 
the documentation.

I'll be tackling the generic module API for the funq command line tool first, 
and producing the project management plugin in tandem so it has a 'user'. The 
project management support (making a new project, packaging a build, 
fulfilling dependencies, ...) is pretty straight forward code so makes a nice 
and easy exercise for the funq tool.

Now is a great time for people to speak up about what doesn't make sense in 
the docs and hopefully once I've laid down a few of the first bricks in funq 
you can start playing with things as well ...
