Since the version in core will be the default on many computers, I want to 
cram in as much as possible. But only myself is to blame for anything that 
doesn't get in, as it is purely my fault for letting the development lapse 
for 2 years or so.

I don't think any bigmath stuff is a showstopper, tho - as there aren't any 
critical bugs, just missing features.
