Okay, a good IDE mode will do.

I will first concentrate on the website/tutorial. I had to write a test 
today, so I could not work very much on this.

How much work is left until we can use refactoring tools? I'd like to 
finally get rid of having to specify "(... traits)" in method definitions.

About performance:
You said that the message dispatcher has much potential for a speed-up. 
Do you know of other bottlenecks and how much speed-up we can expect? 
How far can we get without even coding a full compiler?

Bye,
Waldemar
