Not belatedly - on time enough. If we compared what we are doing to a steam powered
train, the engine is still building up steam.
So all the rest worrying it is late, stop worrying and submit
your issues or issue lists. I have not submitted mine yet either.

These type of issues are handled by ISAC. The chair of ISAC is
Chuck Swart. Based on your analysis and interest, I suspect
you would be a valuable addition to the ISAC team.

Nope. I am more on the advanced user side and since I have not
run into this issue, I don't worry about it. However, I have been
running into issues with understanding aggregate literals
such as the following being ambiguous:
RandIntVal := RV.RandInt ((1, 5, 21, 45)) ;
vs.
RandIntVal := RV.RandInt ( ((1,3), (7,7), (21,25)) ) ;
Where (1, 5, 21, 45) is a set of integer values and
((1,3), (7,7), (21,25)) is the set of ranges 1 to 3, 7 to 7, 21 to 25.
Both something nice to randomize.
Best,
Jim
