Regarding the register, I haven't done any work at all on the
register-rewrite branch. Just cleaned up a bunch of crashers and other bugs
in the current register. I don't foresee working on register-rewrite until
more time has been spent on investments and (possibly) Mac packaging. So I
would definitely say 2.4 wouldn't include any register-rewrite stuff, though
I may make a few more tweaks to the existing register in the coming days.
