[M3devel] merging head m3front to release

[Jay K]

If it's just a wholesale copy, I can do that fairly easily/quickly/soon.

  Anyone can.

You are certain a wholesale copy, of all of m3front? Final answer?

The changes are big and I don't understand them right away.
Just do a wholesale copy?
(and remember related changes to m3tk and m3core)
 
A parameter got renamed lhs => traced or vice versa 
through a lot of the code, but not always. And the value
of it sometimes changed but not always.



That's not related to LONGINT, but is in fact a performance bug fix (eliminates a number of unnecessary GC barriers).


I won't have time to do the merge for at least a couple of weeks.  But, yes, I would plan on a wholesale copy.
Yes, not to forget the other changes too.  I think there were a few other places where the change to using VAL for all conversions required turning ORD into VAL.
