Frankly, as regards 3.1.* versions, my policy has generally been to put in
pretty much anything that doesn't cause immediate and obvious problems
straight away, rather than delaying it. There's a big enough user base for
*-dev-* that the bad problems get sorted out pretty quickly; and zsh is
complicated enough that the less bad problems often need the exposure of
the 3.1.x releases to show up at all. So I shouldn't be shy. As I said
yesterday, things my end are going to run to a halt for a few weeks.
I'm delighted about the vanishing of useheap --- this was sort of vaguely
on my to-do list, at least to think about over a cup of tea. This should
reduce the number of memory leaks dramatically. (Not that we have memory
leaks, of course.)
